Getting Started

We believe that only a well informed patient will be able to make the best decision regarding their future health.

We offer a free informational seminar regarding weight loss surgery. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the dangers of morbid obesity, the pros and cons of surgery, the different types of surgery offered, and to meet the doctors and staff of Advanced Laparoscopic Associates. There will be time for questions and answers after the seminar and you will have the opportunity to meet with former patients who will share their stories of weight loss and the impact it has had on their lives.

You will be able to make an appointment at the end of the seminar with the surgeon of your choice, who will meet with you in the office for a private consultation. At that meeting, the doctor will review your specific health issues and concerns,  answer any questions you may have, and set a date for surgery. In addition, you will be assigned an individual pre-surgical coordinator who will guide you through the entire insurance approval process.
