SUPPORTING YOU DURING & AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY


... had weight loss surgery and afraid that you'll gain the weight back?

The first year after weight loss surgery is usually very rewarding, but can also be confusing, frustrating and frightening, at times.  Learning how to eat and drink with this new anatomy requires planning and practice, as you recover from the surgery, begin to shed pounds and progress toward your life of improved health and well being.

Bariatric surgeons operate on your body, NOT on your mind.  So if weight loss was difficult before, DON'T EXPECT to get an easy ride just by having a bypass operation.  The typical diet program after gastric bypass is so restrictive that patients frequently find it too difficult.  This is why many bariatric patients end up cheating and even gain weight over the following years.

For some people the challenges increase a year or so after the procedure.  As you settle into new routines it can be difficult to keep up with the chemical changes going on in your body and as a result, weight gain and increased hunger may occur.  


For many who have had weight loss surgery, the original, underlying causes for overeating have not been resolved. As with most weight issues, identifying and resolving the old and outdated thought patterns is an essential component to achieving complete success with this new lifestyle.

With the use of hypnotherapy and coaching you will learn to manage this second chance that the surgery offers and to start over and learn new healthy eating and fitness habits.

Please call to learn how you can achieve life long success with this amazing procedure.
