Step One - Introduction

Congratulations on taking the first step to a whole new you!!! St Alexius NewStart is honored to be a part of your decision. Our program is a multi-disciplinary program so we not only offer three bariatric weight loss surgeries but ongoing FREE support for the rest of your life!!! Our commitment is to partner and provide you with all the education and support needed to be successful in our journey together.

You are about to view our online seminar to help you gain a better understanding of our program, surgeons, and hospital. Please have paper and pen handy to take notes and write down any questions or concerns that you may have. Once you have completed the seminar, a Patient Advocate who will walk you through the entire process including- Insurance, working with your physician and completing surgery requirements will contact you. They will schedule a consult with the surgeon of your choice, who will customize a weight loss plan specifically for you.

Before, during, and after surgery we have professional staff that consist of registered nurses, registered dietitians, personal trainer, and psychologists to support you. These services include, one-on-one dietary consults, personal training guidance, supports groups, as well as supervised diet plans. These services are in place to support you through our lifetime partnership and are always at no cost to our patients.

You have decided on weight loss surgery your reason is your own but you are not alone. Nearly 600 individuals became a part of the NewStart program last year and are now on their way to leading happier, healthier lives. Please let your Patient Advocate know if you would like to speak with someone who has been in your shoes.

Again, I would like to personally congratulate you on your life changing decision and look forward to working together as we move you through this life changing process. Welcome to a whole new you!
