Our care starts with a group information visit. Here you get the opportunity to learn more about weight, obesity and the different operations. We will answer your questions and concerns -and then you decide if you want to move on towards surgery or not.

The next step is a check-listing with one of our doctors. This is like a major health survey – we find out if we can operate on you and which procedure would suit you best. Together with you we make a plan, then schedule an appointment for surgery.
