I take time to know who [my patients] are, what kind of support team they have and what kind of stressors or fears they may be dealing with as they begin their journey.

Jumpstart your health journey
While weight loss surgery can be a tool to shed extra pounds, it’s not a “quick fix.”
People start getting ready for surgery up to six months in advance. The program includes education classes, diet and exercise coaching, psychological sessions, monthly support groups before and after surgery, and ongoing support from the team.
All of this preparation sets you up for a successful weight loss journey.
“Understand that this process is a journey. It’s truly a marathon, not a race,” Dr. Menachery explained. “Preparing the mind and body for life after surgery is crucial and helps ensure great results.”
