Preoperative Nutrition
Good nutrition is vital for success with weight loss surgery. The Lap-Band System is not a cure for obesity. It is a tool to assist patients in losing weight. Your food choices and behavior will help you to control your appetite and eat smaller portions. Our staff is here to assist and support you in gaining the knowledge that you will need to be successful.
At Georgia Coast Surgical, you will be provided with an intial nutrition education class taught by one of our Registered Nurses. The class will provide you with the knowledge you will need to be a well informed, motivated and successful Weight Loss Surgery patient. Additional individual counseling is also available by appointment.
