How to Prepare for Your Endobariatric Procedure
Blood work and medical clearance
We will perform your blood work and medical clearance in our office if you attend an in-person consultation. For out-of-state patients, we will provide all the necessary documentation that is needed to obtain blood work and medical clearance in your home state.
Medications
We will prescribe the medications that you will need on the day of your procedure and during your recovery period. These can be sent to the pharmacy of your choice. We ask that you bring these medications with you on the day of the procedure.
Pre-procedure instructions and pre-op diet
We will provide you with clear pre-procedure instructions on what you need to do and what you need to drink 24 hours before your procedure. A clear liquid diet for at least 24 hours before your procedure is absolutely necessary. We ask that you stop drinking any liquids at least 8 hours before your procedure.
Please arrive at our office wearing comfortable clothing and please leave any valuables at home or at your hotel. You will meet your anesthesia provider before the procedure and we will allow you plenty of time to ask questions and to get comfortable and situated.
Post-procedure instructions and post-diet
We will provide you with the instructions to follow right after the procedure and share diet plans.
