OUT-OF-TOWN LAP-BAND® SURGERY
Information for Our Patients Traveling Long Distances
Northwest Weight Loss Surgery attracts patients from across the region, with many of our patients traveling long distances to have the Lap Band® procedure performed by our surgeons. We appreciate this, and take good care of our out-of-town patients and their families.
Planning Your First Visit
Much of the preliminary paperwork for your treatment -- including insurance approval -- can be completed by telephone, fax and email before you arrive for your visit. You can also have any necessary medical tests done in your local area. Call us at 800-979-8982 to begin this process and to plan your pre-surgery visit.
During your first office visit you will meet with one of our nurses who has had Lap Band® surgery, one of the surgeons, and our psychologist.
