Getting Started
Ready to Get Started?
Taking the first step does not mean committing to surgery — it means getting answers. During your first visit, we review typical insurance requirements and the steps needed before certain treatments, such as surgery. Whether you are interested in medical weight loss, bariatric surgery or simply want to understand your options, we’re here to help.
Not sure which approach is right for you? Start with a conversation. We can review your health history, explain your choices and outline possible next steps.
Medical Weight Loss
If you are interested in Medical Weight Loss, please call our office at 502.570.3727 and we will be happy to talk to you about scheduling an appointment with our clinical providers.
Revisional Surgery
If you have had previous weight loss surgery and are interested in getting a revisional procedure, or just want to have follow up care with our clinic, please call our office at 502.570.3727 so that we can get you scheduled for the right type of appointment to suit your needs.
Bariatric Surgery
If you are interested in weight loss surgery and have not had a prior bariatric procedure, then your initial appointment with us will be what we call an intake appointment here at the Kentucky Bariatric Institute.
The process leading up to bariatric surgery varies depending on each person’s medical history and insurance requirements. You will meet our team and learn what testing and clearances are required as you begin your journey with us towards weight loss surgery.
Our insurance team will verify if your policy has benefits for weight loss surgery prior to your appointment. We will screen your health history to make sure you are an appropriate surgical weight loss candidate, and our Insurance Team will make sure you meet the criteria set forth by your insurance policy. Most insurance plans require that your BMI be 35 or higher. However, if your BMI is between 30 – 35, we can sometimes get you approved if you have a life-threatening medical condition, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or sleep apnea. At your first appointment you will receive a personalized benefits form that will estimate, to the best of our abilities, your total out-of-pocket expenses.
