A Stronger Start: Pre-Procedure Weight Management
Managing weight prior to an elective procedure (e.g. in vitro fertilization) or surgery can help reduce the risks of complications and improve your overall procedural/surgical outcome. We work collaboratively with your surgical specialists to manage weight beforehand so can take an important step toward ensuring a safer procedure and more successful recovery.

How does Pre-Procedure Weight Management Help?
Lowers Procedural/Surgical Risk
Carrying excess weight can increase the risk of complications during and after surgery such as difficulties with anesthesia, increasing the likelihood of infections, and adding stress on your heart and lungs. Managing weight ahead of time can help the procedure/surgery go safer.
Improves Wound Healing
Excess weight can impair your body’s ability to heal after surgery. Fat tissue has a lower blood supply, which can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of wound infections. Weight loss improves circulation, helping your body heal more effectively.
Enhances Recovery
Patients with less excess weight before surgery can experience faster recoveries. With less strain on the body, patients may experience less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster overall recovery times.
