Weight Loss Surgery Orange County

Sometimes you just need a little extra help when diet and exercise alone won’t give you the results you desire for your body. Our cosmetic surgeries are performed by board-certified surgeons who will walk with you throughout the process, beginning with an initial evaluation where you will discuss your needs and expectations. With liposuction and tummy tuck procedures offered at our Orange Valley center, you can work with your surgeon to remove excess fat and skin and create the new you.

The Lap-Band surgery is an option for those who suffer from obesity and are unable to bring down their body mass index (BMI) with diet and exercise. During this process, an adjustable ring is attached to the upper part of your stomach with a laparoscopic, minimally-invasive method. After Lap-Band surgery, you will notice that you are able to stay full by eating less amounts of food.

Weight loss surgeries, like any other surgery performed at the Crown Valley Outpatient Surgical Center in Orange County, involve a pre-registration process where you are provided with a comprehensive packet that details your surgery and any instructions you need to follow. Your surgeon will also tell you what to expect when it comes to follow-up visits and recovery.

During your initial consultation for weight loss surgery at our Orange County center, your board-certified surgeon will help you develop realistic expectations regarding the results of your procedure. Rather than expecting to lose a lot of weight right away, you should be prepared to make a permanent lifestyle change and follow your doctor’s post-operative instructions regarding diet plans and physical activity. You will only move forward with weight loss surgery if your Orange County surgeon feels that you are ready to take on the responsibility of the procedure and all that it entails.

Your doctor might provide you with specific instructions to follow before your weight loss surgery, including diet information and medications or foods to avoid. Be sure to follow these instructions carefully to make sure that your surgery is as safe and effective as possible.

The night before your weight loss surgery in Orange County, we suggest that you sit down with the information your surgeon gave you and review the details of your procedure and your post-operative instructions one more time. We also recommend that you arrange to have a loved one drive you home after your surgery, and that you have someone available to help you with certain tasks around the home as you are healing

On the day of your weight loss surgery, you will check in at the office with one of our administrators and wrap up any last minute and necessary paperwork. Once you are ready, you will be taken to a pre-procedure area, where one of our skilled nurses will take your vital statistics. You will also have a chance to speak with the anesthesiologist assigned to your procedure.

When it’s time for your weight loss surgery, your surgeon will complete the procedure alongside a skilled medical team. Following your surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area where you will be monitored while you come out of anesthesia. Once you are ready, you will be discharged to recover in the comfort of your own home.

Why should I go through an outpatient center for my weight loss surgery?

An outpatient center allows you to come in, have your surgery, and leave all on the same day. Our Orange County center cuts back on the amenities a hospital might have for inpatient procedures, but is also fully equipped for your surgeon to be able to perform your surgery safely and easily. We also have the medical and support staff that you would expect to encounter throughout all stages of your outpatient weight loss surgery.
