About Center for Weight Loss Surgery

What is Center for Weight Loss Surgery?

Center for Weight Loss Surgery is a bariatric practice with offices in Federal Way and Kirkland, Washington. Its main work is weight loss surgery, including sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band and revision surgery, with robot-assisted and laparoscopic approaches. It also offers general surgery, cosmetic procedures after major weight loss such as tummy tuck, lower body lift, liposuction, arm lift and breast surgery, and a Medical Weight Loss service. That service begins with an assessment, followed by lifestyle and activity changes, weight loss medications or bariatric surgery, with lifelong follow-up care.

Dr. Myur Srikanth, FACS, MD, is the surgeon, and he founded the practice in 2006. Karli Berry, ARNP, provides follow-up care and surgical assistance. The practice reports more than 5,000 surgeries by Dr. Srikanth since 2001 and more than 20 years of care. Its pages name Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, phentermine and Orlistat, but they do not say which of these the clinic prescribes. Virtual consultations are available, and most of the pre-surgery program can be done virtually. Google reviews average 4.7 from 55 reviews. The clinic does not offer hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine.

This listing is for its Federal Way office at 34509 9th Ave S Ste 103.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, and it does not list a consultation fee. It does not say whether a monthly medication fee would include the drug. For insurance, the clinic is in-network with most major insurance companies and will confirm whether a specific procedure is covered and what criteria apply. If surgery is not covered, or you prefer flexible financing, the options listed are CareCredit, Prosper and a Health Savings Account. The clinic has opted out of Medicare and Medicaid. In its own words: "Start by verifying your insurance benefits in advance so you know exactly what is covered and any out-of-pocket costs."

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the weight loss prescription and how often you would see that person. Ask which medication would be prescribed and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the drug, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost on top of it. Ask what your plan covers for the specific procedure and what criteria apply. Ask how a program is canceled and whether financing carries interest. No hours are listed, so ask when each office is open. The toll-free number is 877-815-7774.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are weighing weight loss surgery, want a medical weight loss consultation, or have insurance the clinic is in-network with and want to start with a virtual consultation. It is not a fit if you need hormone, peptide or longevity care, or if you depend on Medicare or Medicaid, which the clinic does not accept.
