Norton Healthcare’s bariatric surgeons offer follow-up care to patients whose surgeons are no longer practicing, who are unhappy with their current situation or whose insurance has changed.
We routinely see patients who have undergone gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy or lap band surgeries elsewhere. We will see almost every transfer. Patients who want to follow up with Norton Healthcare need only to provide records from their previous surgery or surgeries and schedule an office visit.

These patients usually are elated that someone is listening to them and offering solutions. A lot of them have been sitting in the wings for a couple of years and may be down on themselves.
Follow-up is especially important for patients who have undergone lap band surgery because the band needs to be monitored and adjusted, and because counseling and coaching after lap band surgery is important.
