Getting started: what the first 90 days of preparation look like

Most patients are surprised by how organized the bariatric pathway is. There is a clear sequence — and a clear person to call at every step. Here is what the first 90 days look like at Whole Health.

Weeks 1–2: orient yourself

• Watch our free online informational seminar.
• Complete the bariatric questionnaire so we can pre-check insurance eligibility.
• Schedule a consultation with our team.

Weeks 3–6: medical clearance

Depending on your insurance, you may need a supervised nutrition program, a psychological evaluation, and labs. We coordinate it all — you don’t have to navigate alone.

Weeks 7–12: pre-op preparation

• Pre-surgery labs, EKG, and any specialist clearances
• Home prep: vitamins, pillows, soft foods for week two

On surgery day, you’ll arrive in the morning and most patients go home the next day. Then the real work — and the real change — begins.
