Clearance for Surgery

Attending an information session and your consultation with the psychologist, nurse, nutritionist and surgeon are steps you need to follow in order to determine whether or not you are clinically cleared for surgery. These steps do not guarantee your candidacy for surgery.

Only the surgeon and your primary care physician can decide whether or not you are a candidate for weight loss surgery.
