Bariatrics & Medical Weight Loss FAQ

As a trusted source for medical weight loss services, we understand that embarking on a medical weight loss journey can be daunting. We have compiled a list of insightful FAQs to empower you to make a confident and informed decision for your health.

The recovery time associated with bariatric surgery holds many people back from securing the care they need. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Pristas employs a minimally invasive approach to bariatric surgery. As a result, most patients spend only one night in the hospital, some can even go home the same day. Patients are up and moving, taking sips of liquids, the same day they have surgery. We typically recommend taking two weeks off of work but the main restriction is no heavy lifting for four weeks. Most patients have returned to normal activities approximately two to four weeks post-bariatric surgery.

Statistically, bariatric surgery is safer than many of the other most common surgeries that are performed, such as gallbladder removal, hysterectomy and joint replacement. We are founded on a commitment to elevated patient care. Our bariatric surgery follows stringent safety protocols and post-operative precautions to minimize the risk of complications. However, while uncommon, bariatric surgery does carry the risk of blood clots, infection, and nutrient deficiencies. We carefully monitor for these and address them if they occur.
