There will be approximately 6-8 visits during the first year for the gastric bypass and then annually if all goes well. Patients who choose a banding procedures will need to come in more frequently (about every 6 weeks) until the band is working well for them (“the Green Zone”). Afterwards, the patient can make appointments based on their individual needs. For patients that choose the sleeve, appointments will be similar to that of the gastric bypass. Follow-up is extremely important and a key to your success. We will be gathering labs, bands will be getting fill-ins if needed, and this is an opportunity to make sure that if a problem arises we find it early.
