It has been several months since I posted this video, but I have had some requests to re-run some of our "What to Expect" series. Look for a few this week and next, and remember to leave a comment if you have any questions about weight loss surgery procedures, bariatric surgery costs or Indianapolis surgeons.
Join us for an educational seminar to speak with our surgeons, nutritionists and past patients to learn how weight loss surgery can help you gain control of your weight, regain health and start a new life.
This Saturday, October 17 from 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. you are invited to visit our outpatient clinic on the northwest side of Indianapolis and have your questions answered about bariatric surgery costs, causes of obesity and sustainable weight loss options at the hands of our skilled Indianapolis staff.
If you are interested in attending, please fill out our
online registration form or call 317-275-7010 or 877-275-2555 (toll free) to reserve your spot.
We recently received a blog comment asking about the cost of a typical procedure. While there are many variables as each patient is different, I thought I would re-run the posting as a way to answer some additional questions.
I am often asked by prospective patients the price of Bariatric surgery. I try to give a ball park figure, but it is a price that I cannot quote exactly. Prior to surgery we verify the benefits available to each patient with their insurance plan. If insurance is not an option, I offer the patient the cash pay rate. This is not one fee for all; you will receive a balance of approximately $26,000
A portion of this will be due before surgery (two weeks) the remaining balance will be in different bills. Pre-operative testing, anesthesia, surgeon fees, etc…I cannot give an exact figure as each patient has different mitigating factors affecting their procedures. Different co-morbidities require different tests for example. If you have any additional questions about bariatric surgery financing, gastric bypass costs and other fees related to weight loss surgyer, please do not hesitate to call us at 317-275-7010 or attend a
FREE seminar.

One of
Clarian Bariatrics' success stories is about a lovely lady who entered her first 5K run recently. She was in the office the other day and we could feel her exuberance. She sent this detail in an email:
“I ran about ½ mile total of the 3.1 miles and I ran on every street we were on. I am very proud of myself to have even entered, let alone finish. To think that just one year ago I weighed almost 400 lbs and smoked 1-2 packs of cigarettes a day! We are all truly blessed.”This is a TYPICAL scenario for many people who have undergone weight loss surgery. They regain their lives…and then some! This woman would never have dreamed of accomplishing what she did the other day. I invite you to share your stories or dreams of a healthier, better life.
Are you ready to do something you never thought possible? Then join us at a FREE informational session to learn about bariatric surgery costs, problems caused by obesity and how weight loss surgery can save your life. Click on the image at the top right of this page to see upcoming dates!
Obese patients are about six times more likely to develop heart disease than those of normal weight. Increased levels of blood fats and the metabolic effects of obesity affect coronary disease.
An increased load on the heart leads to early development of congestive heart failure. Severely obese people are 40 times more likely to suffer sudden death, in many cases due to cardiac rhythm disturbances.
However, weight loss surgery can help elminate - or drastically improve - this health problem caused by obesity. If you would like to learn more then consider joining us at a FREE informational seminar.
At the seminar you can ask questions of Indiana Weight Loss Surgeons and find out more information about bariatric surgery costs and Indiana Bariatric Centers. Click on the image at the top right of this page to learn about upcoming dates.

Oh, I am guilty too! The idea of one more thing on my calendar honestly makes my heart beat a little faster. A full time career, completing my bachelor’s degree, a marriage (I do occasionally like to see my husband), a home, two teenagers who are involved in more than one activity every season. We range from youth group to golf to young playwright workshops to football to drivers training. Whew! I don’t know about you but it wears me out just to read the list.
Now, what about exercise? We all know we must keep that as a priority daily to stay healthy. I am the perfect example of the hectic schedule and I must allow myself time daily to work on me. I try to add activity in at any opportunity. I take the stairs instead of the elevator, I do lunges around the kitchen while my popcorn is popping, I take the long route to the restroom at work. Adding extra steps in as a starting point.
If you are intimidated by joining an organized exercise, yoga or dance class get a partner and workout at home. There are some great DVD’s available for less than $10. Start in your very own living room or garage. Even if you can only work out for 20 minutes a day, think how far you could come in a month, two or six.
I honestly, cannot stand to walk on a treadmill; it is my ultimate last resort, but 20 minutes on that while listening to an iPod of my favorite tunes is better than sitting on my tush watching Wheel of Fortune. I am spinning my very own wheel by trying to incorporate everything I have learned at
Clarian Bariatrics. Give us a call to learn more about weight loss surgery, bariatric surgery costs and bariatric weight loss and start spinning your wheel of fortune.
What could you do with an extra 10 years? Watch your grandkids graduate from college? Take that dream vacation? Walk a child down the aisle? It is amazing to think of the major life moments that could be missed just from being obese.
This artice, from USA Today, illustrates just the impact morbid obesity has on individuals. Below are the first couple paragraphs:
Weighing too much may take as much as a decade off your life, according a new analysis of studies that involved 900,000 people. Adults who are obese — about 40 or more pounds over a healthy weight — may be cutting about three years off their lives, mostly from heart disease and stroke.
Those who are extremely obese, about 100 or more pounds over a healthy weight, could be shortening their lives by as many as 10 years, the study found. Being extremely obese is similar to the effect of lifelong smoking, says Richard Peto, one of the lead researchers and a professor of medical statistics at Oxford University in England.If you would like to read more,

At the session, we will answer all your questions related to weight loss surgery, bariatric surgery costs, Indianapolis area surgical weight loss options.
I was reading the March newsletter from the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) and found this great - FREE - resource for patients. It is described below:
Seeking approval for weight-loss surgery can be a difficult process. Often times, patients are denied by their insurance company on the first try and subsequent appeals and efforts can be frustrating and time consuming.To help patients through this process, the OAC developed the Working with Your Insurance Provider: A Guide to Seeking Weight-Loss Surgery guide.
The guide is designed to provide individuals with the knowledge needed to successfully work with their insurance provider and become an advocate for change. It offers readers information discussing the effects of obesity and morbid obesity, tips for working with your insurance provider, detailed information concerning the treatment options available for morbid obesity and much more.To view and order this guide free-of-charge,
please click here. If you have additional questions, feel free to call us at Clarian Bariatrics at 317-275-7010 or to join us at a FREE informational seminar where you can ask any question you have about bariatric surgery costs, the insurance approval process, Indianapolis bariatric weight loss and what leads to effective weight loss surgery outcomes.
