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.
Arrive at our facility 1-2 hours prior to your procedure. You will meet your care team, nurses, anesthesia 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.
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.
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.
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.
