PLANNING FOR YOUR PROCEDURE
At True You, we provide support for long-lasting results, but our partnership starts well before your procedure. Once you’ve made a commitment to fully experience life again and move forward with a procedure, here’s what out of town patients can expect. (For local patients, no overnight stay is required.)
DAY 1 : ARRIVAL
Arrive at your hotel the afternoon or evening prior to your procedure. Our facilities are located close to international airports and we have partnered with several hotels to make your stay comfortable, if traveling from out of state. For more information, visit our locations. Please ensure that all pre-procedure paperwork has been completed. You will be able to reach out to our program director as needed with any questions.
DAY2: PROCEDURE
Arrive at our facility 1-2 hours prior to your procedure. You will meet your care team nurses, anestesia providers, and have a final pre-procedure discussion with your physician. Your procedure will take 30 minutes or less. You will return to your hotel one hour after your procedure. Relax for the remainder of the day, though we encourage you to enjoy some light activity, such as a walk around the neighborhood or hotel grounds.
DAY 3: POST PROCEDURE
You will return to our facility for a post-procedure assessment and IV hydration. The IV fluids will give you a boost for your trip home. Spend the remainder of the day doing light activities and exploring the area; or, if you are feeling well enough, you may return home. You may otherwise stay overnight to ensure a full recovery.
DAY 4: RETURN HOME
As you feel ready, you are able to return home. We provide ongoing support after your procedure to guide you in shaping the habits you’ll need to have in place to maintain your results. This includes a detailed patient guide outlining diet best practices for a full eight weeks after the procedure.
DAY 5: RETURN TO WORK
Most patients return to work in less than a week’s time from the date of their procedure. You may resume other normal activities as soon as you feel ready. Continue to follow the patient guide and record your progress in the True You app.
You’re Not Alone
For the vast majority of people, lifestyle modifications—drastically changing what you eat and engaging in punishing exercise regimens—only make a minimal difference in weight loss. You don’t have to live this way—shifting from diet to diet or workout to workout. Surgery isn’t your only option to find the life you want. Come find yourself at True You.
Patients have traveled to True You from more than 45 states and 10 countries.
