Bariatric Surgery is a great tool for assisting with weight loss when you are severely overweight.  It may seem like a quick fix, but for the greatest long term success it requires the same or more effort in modifying your eating behavior, exercise habits and food choices, as non-surgical weight loss.

Pre-operative education is necessary to give you the best chance for keeping your weight off once you lose it.  This will also qualify for the medically supervised weight loss required by some insurances. When you begin making changes before the surgery, you will have a smoother transition to your New Way post-operative eating plan.   You will be ready with the plan in place for self-monitoring, increasing your activity and making healthy food choices.  I will educate you about the post-op diet progression so you can be totally prepared and know ahead of time what changes are in store.

Post-operative nutrition care by a registered dietitian nutritionist is one of the things you will find that is common among those who are the most successful with their weight loss after surgery.  I will work with you and the rest of your medical team to be sure that your diet progression is safe and appropriate.  I will help you learn how to include all foods in a way that meets your health and weight loss goals.
