Compare the Difference
If you’re considering lap banding or gastric bypass, it’s important to ask the right questions to make the most informed decision possible. There is a difference in surgical weight loss alternatives.
At EIRMC, you can be assured the answer to each and every question is Yes!
♦ Does the hospital meet the highest national standards for Bariatric Centers of Excellence, so my insurance is more likely to approve my surgery?
♦ Is the surgeon Board-Certified, a member of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons, and specially-trained in the laparoscopic method of gastric bypass surgery?
♦ Will my care be guided by an interdisciplinary bariatrics team that includes Registered Dieticians; degreed Exercise Physiologists; licensed Psychologists; Registered Nurses and others specially trained in bariatrics?
♦ Does the hospital offer, in-house, all the back-up specialty services I might need, including an Intensive Care Unit with full-time intensivists and critical care staff, pulmonologists, cardiologists, and interventional radiologists?
♦ Will I receive comprehensive teaching, encouragement, and support groups, both before and after my surgery, at no additional cost?
♦ Is the hospital specially outfitted with equipment to safely and comfortably care for larger patients like me, including specialty furniture, wheelchairs, operating tables, beds, and walkers?
♦ Does the hospital offer easy-to-understand package pricing, and will they help me with the insurance verification and qualification process?
