Frequently Asked Questions
Lorem Ipsum How much weight can I lose after bariatric surgery?
Many patients at WLWC may lose approximately 60% of their excess body weight, or around 80 pounds, within the first year after surgery. However, results vary from person to person. Your weight loss may depend on the procedure you choose, your overall health, your starting weight, and how closely you follow your post-surgery nutrition and lifestyle plan.
Is bariatric surgery safe?
Bariatric surgery is generally considered safe when performed by an experienced, board-certified bariatric surgeon. Like any surgery, it does carry some risks, but these are carefully reviewed before treatment is recommended. At WLWC, Dr. Majid and her team evaluate each patient thoroughly and provide close support before, during, and after surgery to help improve safety and outcomes.
How long does recovery take after weight loss surgery?
Recovery time depends on the type of bariatric surgery performed and your overall health. Many patients are able to return to light daily activities within a few days. Most patients follow a structured diet progression for about three months, starting with liquids, moving to soft or ground foods, and gradually returning to solid foods under medical guidance.
Will insurance cover bariatric surgery in New Jersey?
Many insurance plans cover bariatric surgery when medical necessity requirements are met. Coverage can vary depending on your plan, BMI, obesity-related health conditions, and documentation of previous weight loss attempts. The WLWC team helps patients understand insurance requirements and also offers financing options through Cherry Financing and CareCredit for eligible patients.
What support does WLWC provide after bariatric surgery?
WLWC provides ongoing support after surgery, including follow-up appointments with Dr. Majid, nutritional counseling, access to a registered dietitian, and a dedicated weight loss support group. Patients who experience weight regain after a previous procedure may also benefit from WLWC’s Back on Track program.
Is weight loss surgery available near me in New Jersey?
Yes. The Weight Loss and Wellness Center serves patients through four New Jersey locations: Clifton, Bridgewater, Springfield, and Rahway. This makes it easier for patients across New Jersey to access expert bariatric and weight loss surgery care, follow-up visits, and long-term weight loss support close to home.
Is bariatric surgery the same as surgery to lose weight?
Yes. Bariatric surgery is commonly known as weight loss surgery or surgery to lose weight. These procedures are designed for eligible patients who have struggled to achieve lasting weight loss through diet, exercise, or other non-surgical methods. At WLWC, Dr. Majid helps patients understand whether bariatric surgery is the right option based on their BMI, health conditions, weight loss history, and long-term goals.
