Got Questions? Good.
Let’s Get Real.

Choosing surgery is a big decision—and having questions is normal. Dr. Wilson believes in straight talk, clear info, and helping you feel totally informed and supported.

• 1. Is weight loss surgery the easy way out?
  Nope—and let’s retire that myth for good. Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool, not a shortcut. It takes commitment, lifestyle changes, and follow-up care. But with the right support, it can change your life.
  
• 2. Am I a candidate for bariatric surgery?
  If your BMI is 35+ with health issues (or 40+ without), you may qualify. But numbers aren’t the full story. Dr. Wilson looks at your whole health picture to help determine if surgery is right for you.
  
• 3. What’s the difference between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass?
  Both are effective weight loss procedures. Sleeve surgery removes part of the stomach, while bypass also reroutes part of the small intestine. Each has its own pros and cons—and Dr. Wilson will walk you through which option best fits your needs.
  
• 4. Will I have to follow a strict diet forever?
  There will be changes, yes—but they’re doable, and you won’t be doing it alone. Dr. Wilson and her team provide ongoing support, nutrition guidance, and real-life tools to help you build sustainable habits.
  
• 5. How long is recovery after surgery?
  Most patients go home the next day and return to normal activities in 2–4 weeks. With minimally invasive techniques, recovery is faster and less painful. Dr. Wilson will give you a personalized plan so you know exactly what to expect.
  
• 6. Does insurance cover weight loss surgery?
  In many cases—yes. Most major insurance plans do cover bariatric surgery if certain medical criteria are met. And more people qualify than they realize. Dr. Wilson’s team can help you navigate the process, check your benefits, and take the guesswork out of getting approved.

Feeling informed? Awesome.
