How do I know if I am a candidate for weight loss surgery?
Candidacy depends on your BMI, health history, previous weight loss attempts, insurance requirements, and the procedure you are considering. JourneyLite can help you compare surgical, medication-based, and non-surgical options.
Does JourneyLite offer options besides surgery?
Yes. JourneyLite offers medical weight loss, GLP-1 medication guidance, gastric balloon options, and bariatric surgery. This allows patients to compare several treatment paths in one program.
What is the most popular weight loss surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures. Gastric bypass and SADI may be better choices for some patients depending on reflux, diabetes, BMI, prior surgery, and other medical factors.
Can I use GLP-1 medications after bariatric surgery?
Some patients may benefit from medical weight loss support after bariatric surgery, especially if they experience weight regain, increased hunger, or a plateau. This should be discussed with a qualified medical provider.
Does JourneyLite serve patients outside Cincinnati?
Yes. JourneyLite serves patients throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, with locations in Cincinnati, Dayton/Moraine, Columbus/Grove City, Indianapolis/Greenwood, and Northern Kentucky/Crestview Hills.
