Mandatory all patients MUST attend a free informational seminar – We hold anywhere from 10 to 15 seminars a month throughout the state of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada. Each seminar runs anywhere from 1 to 1 ½ hours depending on questions.

After attending the seminar, you will register online by clicking here.

Once registered, someone from the Surgical Weight Loss Center of Utah will call you to schedule your initial consultation. At the initial consultation you will spend time with the physician, exercise physiologist, dietician, psychologist as well as the insurance specialist. Usually this first visit will take about 2 ½ hours.

We will continue to work and communicate with you until you are ready for surgery. Once given clearance from the insurance company and clinical clearance, we will call to schedule the surgery and set up a pre-op appointment with the physician. The pre-op appointment is usually set up about 10 to 15 days prior to surgery and will fall on a Wednesday or Thursday at 3:00 pm.

All surgeries are scheduled on a Monday or Tuesday. A clear liquid diet with protein shakes is required one week prior to surgery. This diet will be discussed at the pre-op appointment if not addressed sooner.

The process can take anywhere from 2 months up to 6 months depending on criteria of insurance carrier. Some insurance carriers require a 3 month/6 month supervised diet prior to approving weight loss surgery.
