Bariatric surgery includes several different procedures that can help people with obesity lose weight and improve health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. Before having one of these procedures, many patients need to complete a medically supervised weight loss program. After the procedure, continued follow-up is also recommended to help support lifestyle changes and monitor your nutritional status.
At the Healthful Eating, Activity, and Weight Program, our multidisciplinary team of obesity medicine physicians and bariatric surgeons helps you in making changes in diet, physical activity, and behaviors that are key to successfully losing weight during the medically supervised weight loss period. We also have expertise in managing weight and nutritional status after these procedures. For patients interested in endoscopic weight loss services, we recommend that you consider the Johns Hopkins Endoscopic Weight Loss Program.
Patients interested in bariatric surgery will have an evaluation with one of our specialty physicians to create a lifestyle change plan to meet your unique needs. Our program offers a variety of weight management services for patients:
After the first evaluation, patients interested in bariatric surgery will have regular follow-up visits with our obesity medicine physician experts. Our physicians also work with patients after bariatric surgery to continue to support lifestyle changes and weight loss. Patients will also have their nutritional status monitored and be evaluated for any complications. These visits are usually covered by insurance.
Bariatric surgeons from the Johns Hopkins Center for Bariatric Surgery evaluate patients for these procedures and continue follow-up care in our clinic. These board-certified surgeons have decades of combined surgical experience, and work together with the Healthful Eating, Activity and Weight Program’s obesity medicine physicians in developing a coordinated care plan.
We offer services from a licensed psychologist with expertise in behavior change, obesity, and pre-bariatric surgical evaluations. Psychology visits will be available in late 2020.
