If it doesn't, or if you have none, learn if the surgeons or bariatric program provides financing or payment options. The task of choosing good surgeons can be a difficult one.

Questions for Your Bariatric Surgeon

Executive Summary About bariatric surgeons By  Simon Hemmings

Ask about your targeted surgeon's experience. Usually it is admitted that a surgeon that has performed 100 or over 100 surgeries is an experienced practitioner.

Some certifications achieved by the surgeon prove that he has reached a certain number of surgeries in a specific period of time.

If the surgeon you've chosen is performing in a certified Center of Excellence, it means that that center has a large number of surgeries performed and the surgeon who works there has a large number of surgeries performed by him during his professional life also, and at least 50 surgeries per year.
