    Have You Been Banded or Thinking About Being Banded?


    Have You Had Weight Loss Surgery Of Any Kind?


    You'll Want to Read This!



    Learn How to Be As Successful as
    Possible with Your Weight Loss!

    Whether you've been banded or thinking about being banded you need to read this page. Have you had or are thinking of having Weight Loss Surgery (Gastric Bypass; Roux-en-Y; RNY) of any kind? Most people who have weight loss surgery I know are pretty smart folks and do their research before having surgery. Unfortunately, most of what you read about weight loss surgery covers the surgical procedure, eating post-surgery, insurance issues, and which hospitals and surgeons are doing the procedure.

    But what about the emotional and psychological changes you will go through after banding and during your weight loss journey?

    Things like ...
    • Emotional Eating - are you continuing to struggle with emotional eating or binges?
      You will learn ways to identify and stop emotional eating before it destroys your weight loss progress.


    • Weight Scale Anxiety - does it continue to have too much control of your life?
      You will learn how to stop letting the scale control your daily mood and when and when not to weigh yourself.


    • Body Image Issues- are you having trouble adjusting to or accepting your new body?
      You will learn how to change your internal body image as your external body loses weight and changes shape.


    • Relationship Problems - is your significant other having trouble adjusting to the New You?
      You will learn how to navigate those relationship problems that almost every couple has following any WLS procedure. You don't have to be a divorce or breakup statistic.


    • Sexual Reawakening Issues - do you or your significant other have questions regarding the sexual changes that accompany your weight loss?
      You will learn how to re-connect with your sexual self and become more comfortable with your emerging sexuality.

    All of the above problems are common following
    any type of Weight Loss Surgery
