Under the guidance of our registered dietician, all of our Las Vegas weight loss surgery patients are required to follow a healthy diet plan before and after surgery.Nutrition classes are taught before surgery so that you are comfortable in following a healthy diet that’s easy to maintain after surgery.Patients are required to take vitamin supplements for the rest of their life.
