The guide we wish every patient read before their first consultation
Written by Dr. Eduardo, not by a marketing team. Every figure in it is cited to a published study, the trade-offs of each procedure are stated plainly, and there is no point in it where the answer happens to be whatever we sell.
01
Why willpower is the wrong frame
The hormonal reason regain happens, including the study that found appetite hormones still altered a full year after weight loss. Plus the usual candidacy criteria.
02
Four operations, four different jobs
Sleeve, bypass, SADI-S and revision in one table: what each does, when it is usually chosen, and the honest trade-off of each.
03
GLP-1 medications versus surgery
Trial figures and real-world figures side by side, what happens when medication stops, and why the comparison is not actually a rivalry.
04
What to ask your insurance plan
Eight questions in the order that matters, including the two that most often cause months of delay when nobody asks them early.
05
Twelve questions for your consultation
A printable checklist that separates a surgeon giving you an assessment from a practice giving you a preference.
