FAQs
Got Questions? We’ve Got You
Is the procedures only for people with very high BMI?

Not necessarily. We work with patients across the BMI spectrum, including those with lower BMI who haven’t responded to traditional weight loss methods. Every case is evaluated individually.
What’s the typical recovery timeline like?

Most patients stay 1–2 nights in the hospital, and return to light activity in about a week. Our nutrition plan and milestone check-ins help you gradually transition into your new lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed.
How is mindset part of the pre-op process?

Dr. Huber works with you to build the mental foundation you need for long-term change — helping reduce anxiety, boost confidence, and shift from short-term thinking to sustainable habits.
What kind of post-op support do you provide?

Scheduled check-ins, access to our team, customized diet transitions, and long-term follow-ups. You’ll never be left figuring it out alone.
