Your surgical procedure

 
 
Bariatric surgery typically requires a stay of several days in the hospital, and our staff will need to see you after 7 to 10 days for a follow up examination.

General surgery depending on the type of procedure you are interested may need one or several days stay in the hospital.

While you rest and recuperate, we can recommend light activities for you to enjoy during your stay.

We will work with you to create a plan for long term follow up care that is both convenient and effective
