Book a consultation →What we cover
Ninety minutes that save you months of guessing
This is the same information Dr. Eduardo gives in a consultation, presented once, to a room instead of one person at a time.
Which procedure fits you
Sleeve, bypass, SADI-S and revision, side by side. What each one actually does, what the trade-offs are, and how the choice gets made from your history rather than from a brochure.
What the results really look like
Published outcomes, not marketing numbers. What average weight loss means, what happens to diabetes and reflux, and where the honest limits are. Individual results vary.
Insurance, self-pay and financing
How coverage criteria work, the documentation most plans require, how long approval usually takes, and what the self-pay path looks like if your plan says no.
Recovery, week by week
Time off work, the diet stages, what the first month feels like, and what long-term follow-up involves. The part most seminars rush through.
Surgery versus GLP-1 medications
A straight comparison, including what happens when medication stops. Omnia offers both, so the answer is not predetermined by what we happen to sell.
Your questions, answered live
Open question time with Dr. Eduardo. No sales pitch, no obligation, and no requirement to schedule anything afterward.
