What is Vandalia Health Weight Loss Center?
Vandalia Health Weight Loss Center is a weight loss center within the CAMC Health System, with offices in Charleston and Hurricane. Most of what it offers is bariatric surgery, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, SADI-S, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and robotic surgery. It is nationally accredited for adult and adolescent bariatric surgery by the American College of Surgeons, and it is named a Blue Distinction Center+ for bariatric surgery by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.
It also offers nonsurgical options: a Medical Weight Loss program and Orbera, a balloon placed in the stomach and removed after six months. The medical program brings together nutrition counseling, fitness and medical supervision. In its own words: "Your care will be monitored by a Registered Dietitian, an Exercise Physiologist, and a Nurse Practitioner." The Nurse Practitioner manages medical care and lab work. A free gym is open to pre- and post-op patients.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether medication is included in the program, or whether telehealth is offered. Ask the office you plan to visit for the cost of the first visit, the program and any procedure, and what your insurance will cover before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who prescribes. It does not name the doctors or nurse practitioners who prescribe, so ask which one would be your prescriber and whether that person works at the office you choose. Ask whether the program fee includes medication, and whether any medication is brand-name or compounded. It does not name a medication for the Medical Weight Loss program.
Ask what the first visit, dietitian sessions, nurse practitioner visits, lab work and weigh-ins cost, and whether follow-up after Orbera or surgery is billed separately. Ask how cancellation works. It notes that all medical and surgical weight loss procedures carry potential risks and complications, so ask which of those apply to you.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are weighing surgery or a balloon procedure at a health-system center with national accreditation, and you want costs and insurance answered before you book. It also suits someone who wants medical supervision alongside dietitian and exercise support, and who is ready to ask how medication is handled.
