Post-Operative Visit Schedule

Post-operative care is exceptionally important both for a smooth and quick recovery as well as long-term success. As a result, we have a comprehensive aftercare program that includes several post-operative visits at our office. You will be scheduled to see your doctor postoperatively at the following intervals:

• One to two week (gastric bypass and gastric sleeve patients will also see the BEGIN dietitian at this visit)
• Four to six weeks (Adjustable Gastric Banding patients will also see the BEGIN dietician at this visit)
• Three months
• Six months
• Nine months
• One year
• Semi-annually in year two and annually thereafter

Note:  Adjustable Gastric Banding patients will be seen, as needed, for adjustments in addition to the post-operative visit schedule.
