Recovering from surgery, adjusting to a
rigorous new diet and experiencing gradual
yet significant weight loss are just a few
of the changes many bariatric surgery patients
encounter after their surgery.
Your bariatric surgery is a serious commitment
to improving your overall health and well-being.
Weight loss is a process, so it is important
to build a support system to get you through
the coming weeks, months and years.
- This is the time to get involved in
a Support
Group tailored specifically to weight
loss surgery patients. We encourage you
not to put this off. To learn more about
support groups, please call your physician's
office. Learn about Area
Support Groups.
- In support groups, you'll likely meet
other Success
Stories — people just like you,
who have recovered from bariatric surgery,
adjusted to disciplined eating habits,
and who continue to work toward their
personal weight loss goals. We encourage
you to get to know our patients with successful
outcomes to gain valuable insight into
weight loss strategies and adjusting to
this new lifestyle.
- During this process, it will also be
important to stay up-to-date on your own
personal nutritional requirements. Read
about our Nutrition
Counseling & Services to find
out what you can do to promote a healthy
lifestyle after surgery.
- Sky Lakes specialists also offer Plastic
Surgery. Talk to your physician to
find out if this is a good option for
you after surgery.
- Use our Resources
& Tools to find trustworthy, medically-sound
Web sites that address bariatric surgery,
weight loss and related issues. Here you
can find tips on exercise, nutrition and
keeping a healthy perspective on your
personal weight loss process.
