Screening

The process to see if you are eligable for surgery is called the 'screening'.  Sometimes multiple appointments are necessary to finish the screening procedure, but we will try to make everything fit in 1 day.

Before the surgery the internist  will evaluatie possible causes of the overweight and see if you are healthy enough to undergo the weightloss procedure. We will take some blood to check several values.
Our dietician will evaluate your eating habits and prepare you for eating after weightloss surgery.
Our lifstyle coach evaluates your overall patterns and tries to help you get a healthier lifestyle.
The psychologist evaluates for instance stress levels, depression, addictions and eating disorders.

Sometimes the screening show reasons to undergo further evaluation and investigations to see if a weightloss procedures is safe and wise. This could cause extension of you journey through our program.
