Traveling Patients

Reveal Weight Loss proudly welcomes both local and out-of-town patients who are ready to take control of their health. You may live right here in Essex County in North Jersey, or you may be traveling to us from South Jersey and towns like Cape May, Atlantic City, Cherry Hill, Manalapan, Red Bank, and Asbury Park. Many of our patients also come from across the Tri-State and Northeast regions, including New York City, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, and other nearby areas.

No matter where you are coming from, we believe it is worth traveling to find a team of experts who understand the complexity of weight loss and have the expertise to identify what solution will best help you reach your goals. We take the time to create a strategy that works specifically for you and your circumstances.

We offer many options for non-surgical medical intervention, including prescription weight loss medications, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), gastric balloons (Orbera, Spatz3), as well as revisions of gastric sleeve and revision of gastric bypass surgery.

You are not left on your own to figure it out; our compassionate team of experts is there every step of the way, providing you with the tools you need in a supportive environment to help you reach your goals.

Recommendations For Travel Planning

Careful planning will make your procedure day and your recovery smoother and less stressful.

Planning Your Arrival

Arrange your travel plans so you will arrive at least one day before your procedure to attend your pre-procedure consultation.

Post-Procedure

Plan to stay overnight in a nearby hotel so you can attend a follow-up appointment the next day and receive IV hydration. This will help you recover faster and more comfortably.

Planning For Your Procedure FAQs 

What can I expect after my procedure?

If you are like most individuals, you can expect to lose a significant amount of weight in the first three or four months after your procedure. You must also be prepared to hit weight loss plateaus and work closely with your doctor to work through them.

If you have a gastric balloon placed and you follow your doctor-supervised plan, you can expect to lose between 10-15% of your body weight within six months.

If you have had an endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty procedure, you can expect to lose between 30 and 70 pounds in 12 months.

Your weight loss potential is directly related to your ongoing commitment to healthy eating, exercise, and practicing other lifestyle habits that will promote weight loss.

How much pain or discomfort will I be in after the procedure?

This varies from person to person. Generally, if pain or discomfort occurs, it feels sharp and cramp-like. It is normal to have some pain or discomfort in the days following the procedure. It should not last for more than a few days after your procedure.

For this pain, you can take Tylenol (acetaminophen) as needed (please follow the instructions on the bottle). If given prescription pain medications post-procedure, please take as advised.

If experiencing persistent pain lasting more than 3-4 days post-procedure, worsening pain, or abdominal distention (bloating), please inform your doctor.

How much nausea will I have after the procedure?

This also varies from person to person. If experiencing nausea, it generally only lasts the first few days up to a week post-procedure.

For this nausea, please take Zofran (ondansetron) as prescribed. If other anti-nausea medications were prescribed, you can alternate between them.

Why do I feel tired or fatigued after the procedure?

You may be dehydrated. Make sure you have a sip of water every five to ten minutes to help rehydrate. It is recommended to drink 1.5L of fluid a day to help prevent dehydration. Water infused with electrolytes or coconut water can also help.

Also, you can start taking multivitamins if you haven’t already.

I have a fever – is that normal?

A low-grade fever in the first three days post-procedure is normal, but if lasts longer than this please call the office.

For the fever, you can take Tylenol (acetaminophen) every 6 hours (DO NOT take more than the recommended dose as stated on the bottle).
