Counseling, Evaluations and More
Pre/Post Care - Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery Sacramento
While Dr. Ed Hendricks helps patients lose excess weight through effective weight loss programs, including the Low Carbohydrate Diet and Very Low Carbohydrate Diet, he does not perform bariatric surgery. However, many patients considering surgery come to The Center for Weight Management for a second opinion. Dr. Hendricks is thoroughly familiar with all of the details of bariatric surgery, including advantages and disadvantages, the psychological implications of undergoing the surgery, and the drastic lifestyle changes that must be made following surgery. He offers both pre- and post-bariatric weight loss surgery counseling and evaluations at his Sacramento-area offices. Contact our clinic today to learn more about these services.
What help can we offer?
Dr. Ed Hendricks and his staff at The Center for Weight Management offer consultation and evaluation services for patients contemplating bariatric surgery. Because surgery is an irrevocable step, some patients prefer to get a second opinion from an experienced bariatric physician who has no financial interest in the proposed surgery. We can also provide vital education about fat, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Pre-Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery: Counseling, Evaluations, and Examinations
We offer pre-weight loss surgery counseling to patients visiting our Sacramento-area practice. Our counseling sessions include detailed evaluations and thorough examinations. Some insurance companies even set these meetings as a prerequisite to covering the costs of bariatric surgery.
Dr. Hendricks also provides guidance and support for preoperative weight loss, an especially valuable service to high-risk patients. Patients with a higher risk of surgical complications can lower their risk substantially by losing weight with non-surgical methods prior to surgery. Studies have shown that this does not compromise weight loss after surgery.
Post-Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery: Vitamin Deficiency Examinations and Support
At The Center for Weight Management, we also offer long-term care for patients who have undergone any of the various bariatric procedures, including gastric bypass and gastric banding. Dr. Hendricks and his staff understand that surgery is not curative; lifelong management is needed to enhance and maintain the weight loss induced by surgery. Without support and guidance, patients who have had gastric bypass are prone to develop iron deficiency and various vitamin deficiencies. By offering both physical examinations and laboratory analyses, as well as post-bariatric weight loss surgery guidance, our Sacramento-area practice is ready to meet patients' needs before and after surgery.
