Having bariatric surgery is a decision for life. A decision that
will lead to many changes before and after surgery. At Colorado
Choice Bariatrics, we are committed to helping patients thru the
entire surgical process.
So many people are involved in your care prior to surgery. From
the clinical bariatric coordinator to the dietician to the psychologist
and the insurance and financial assistant. Preparing for the procedure
helps patients to understand the various aspects of each role.
