Welcome to Blossom and Warren Springs Surgical Center! In this video, Sonia will walk you through what to expect during your time with us before your first appointment and surgery.

When you arrive, you’ll check into the hotel and receive your Blossom care bag, which contains instructions for the items inside. You should stop eating by 8 PM and drink one of your protein beverages between 8 PM and midnight. Before your driver picks you up from the hotel, drink your second protein beverage.

At the office, you’ll be greeted by the coordinator who will review your paperwork and schedule your IV therapy for the following day. You’ll do lab work and testing to clear you for surgery and meet with the surgeon who will answer any medical questions and give you your prescriptions for after surgery.

After completing these appointments, you’ll head to the surgery side to prep for your procedure. You’ll be given sweatpants and a t-shirt to wear during the surgery. A nurse will review your medical history and information with you, and you’ll have an IV placed in your arm for easy access to IV fluids throughout your time with us. The surgeon and anesthesiologist will confirm everything with you once more before you head to the operating room.

The surgery takes about 60 minutes, and when you wake up, the nurse will go over your discharge instructions with you and your companion. You’ll have a Blossom visit for about four to six hours after discharge. If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to call your surgeon directly.

The day after surgery, you’ll come in for your IV therapy and post-op appointment. We’ll make sure you’re feeling alright, check on your incisions, and answer any questions you may have. You’ll also be invited to join our Facebook support group for Blossom post-op patients only and have access to the Beritastic app to track your food and water.

Two weeks after surgery, you’ll have a nutrition e-visit to review some of the testing you completed here. The nutritionist will go over some expectations for weight loss and help guide you through eating properly and taking appropriate supplements.

If you have any questions, please call 855-Blossom or email your coordinator. We’re excited to see you and help you through your weight loss journey.
