We’re not in the business of performing surgeries. We’re here to help individuals who’ve suffered from the seemingly hopeless situation of living with serious weight issues begin life anew. This could be you. Isn’t it time to turn your life around?
At Puget Sound Bariatric Center, we’re focused on achieving your weight loss goals and maintaining your optimal health. Our minimally invasive technique (laparoscopy) – with our multidisciplinary program of surgeons, nurses, dietitians, physical therapists, psychologists and support groups – leads the region. Specializing in bariatric (weight loss) surgery, our team has performed thousands of advanced laparoscopic procedures. We spend considerable time evaluating and educating you, the patient, on which weight loss procedure would suit your specific needs so that you can make the best decision for you.
You will not find another weight loss program as unique and comprehensive. Our all-inclusive service continuum supports you every step of the way.
Comprehensive Education
We want you to be educated on the decision for weight loss surgery. An initial consult will be scheduled with our program coordinator to go over all the details of the program. Seminars and support groups are available for you and your family. And when you’ve decided to proceed, we will continue the education process with you to ensure you understand fully the details of how to live with your new body.
Medical Support
Our doctors will evaluate and educate you on the surgery procedure. They, along with the staff, will be available to answer any questions you might have before, during or after your procedure.
Nutrition Therapy
Our program includes nutrition therapy by our clinical dietitian. Regular visits will be scheduled to monitor your weight loss. You will have the opportunity to work on healthy eating habits and receive the support you need to reach your goals.
Support Groups
Monthly support groups are available for you. You will have the chance to interact with other weight loss patients and learn from dynamic speakers. The support groups are fun, interactive and motivating.
Counseling Services
Every patient receives a full evaluation before you enter the program to determine if this is the best time in your life for the procedure. Following your procedure, we may refer you to specialized counselors for individual follow-up.
Exercise Programs
Our team of highly qualified physical therapists will work directly with you to plan your exercise program based on your specific needs.
Financial Counseling and Billing Services
Our team will verify and evaluate your insurance coverage so that we can discuss this with you at your first appointment. If your insurance plan does not cover the procedure, we have cash payment plans and financing options available.
Our Facility
Our Ambulatory Surgical Center is a comfortable and supportive environment for you and your loved ones. We have a state-of-the-art surgical facility with an experienced surgical staff to ensure your safety and the success of your procedure. Additionally, you will receive quality post-operative care from our trained staff to help get you off to a great start.
