Provost Bariatrics is pleased to announce that we are accepting Lap-Band and Gastric Bypass patients for transfer follow up care. All patients requesting to transfer care must have their bariatric surgery-related medical records transferred to our office (including operative note, follow up progress notes, band fill log, and the films and reports of any relevant testing).

Prior to your appointment, your medical insurance will be verified, and we will contact you and go over all medical benefits. Please keep in mind, if your medical insurance did not cover your initial bariatric procedure, it is likely they will not cover follow-up care. In that case, you will be a self pay patient. Initial appointments are $250.00 and all non-fluoro requiring band fill appointments will be $75.00. General care office visits are $50.00. Please note that the cost of these appointments does NOT include the costs of lab or imaging studies that may need to be performed.

Once we have your medical records, we will schedule you for a screening Upper GI performed at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Denton on the same day of your initial consult with us. Typically, your appointment will be scheduled with Dr. Provost’s Physician Assistant, Chrystyna Senkel.

To ensure that you have a clear understanding of how to make your weight loss procedure most effective, all patients transferring care from other surgeons will be required to attend our post-op nutrition class. In addition, transfer-care patients are welcome to utilize our program services, such as our weight loss surgery support group meetings, patient connections list, and Lap-Band Back-on-Track classes.

Please call the office at 940-323-3450 to schedule an appointment and obtain a medical records release.
