Lifestyle
All patients considering weight loss surgery must make a commitment to healthy diet and exercise programs. For many, this will involve changing an existing relationship to food. To support patients throughout this process, Albany Med has a team of committed nurse practitioners, nutritionists, mental health experts and support professionals available to help patients achieve their weight loss goals.
If patients are successful in losing weight with changes to exercise and food alone, they will continue to visit our nutritionist for support. Patients who find that these changes do not help them reach weight loss goals will meet with a surgeon to discuss surgery options, and the pre-assessment period.
