I'm considering bariatric surgery at PIH Health. Can you tell me what the primary goal of bariatric surgery is, list at least three types of weight-loss surgeries offered, and explain how I can initially request an appointment? Additionally, does PIH Health offer patient support groups or nutrition classes, and what is the title of one of the mandatory classes for surgery preparation?
Navigate to 'pihhealth.org'. Click on the 'Health Services' link. Scroll down and click on the 'Bariatric Surgery' link. Identify the primary goal of bariatric surgery. Locate the phone number or link to request an appointment for the specialty team. Identify if patient support groups or nutrition classes are offered. Click on the 'Types of Weight-Loss Surgeries' link. Identify and list at least three types of bariatric surgery procedures. Return to the main 'Bariatric Surgery' page if necessary, or check the current page for related events/classes. Identify the title of one of the mandatory classes for surgery preparation. Synthesize all gathered information to answer the task.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Bariatric Surgery' service page. The primary goal of bariatric surgery is stated as helping people 'live a healthier life when diet and exercise alone aren’t helping them lose weight' and helping to 'improve your quality of life and treat obesity-related symptoms'. The agent states that an appointment can be requested by calling '562.789.5444' or by clicking the 'Request an Appointment' link. The agent confirms that PIH Health offers both 'Bariatric nutrition classes' and 'Bariatric surgery support groups'. The agent lists at least three of the following bariatric surgery procedures: 'Gastric Bypass', 'Gastric Sleeve' (or 'Sleeve Gastrectomy'), and 'Adjustable Gastric Band' (or 'Lap-Band'). The agent identifies 'Class #1 Preparing for Bariatric Surgery (Mandatory for Surgery)' as a mandatory class for surgery preparation.
