Are you almost - but not quite ready to have weight loss surgery?

So tired of  wondering about weight loss surgery…who do I talk to about it?
I offer one on one telephone sessions and email consultation to help you find your truth about whether or not weight loss surgery is right for you.

I thought long and hard about my decision to have surgery – you don’t have to.  I want to save you time, untie the knots in your brain, and get you clear once and for all about this decision.

Post-Op: You’re a few months or years out from surgery. Your friends are treating you differently. Some say that that weight loss surgery is “the easy way out”, that your weight loss is not real, or they call you a cheater because you chose surgery.  When I hear that I – 1) Get very angry and, 2) realize I’m talking to someone who doesn’t know squat about this. Surgery means you get a jump start but it’s simply one step on a whole new path. You’re changing. What’s happening as you put yourself and your health as priority? Feeling selfish? Over indulgent? Been there. I can help you figure out how to best take care of you and keep family or romantic relationships flourishing.

Post-Op: You don’t have a network of support who “gets” you and are tired of going it alone.
I’m lucky to have my fella Chris who’s supported me the entire way – even when I was talking nonsense and didn’t want him to see me and my shrinkles. But for some it’s not like that.  You might even have a partner and still feel alone. Crickets are chirping & the noise is deafening. The numerous online weight loss surgery forums & in person support groups out there are not quite right. Too grumpy, too bland, or worse yet – you started having uptight private school flashbacks & not the fun kind.

No-Op’s / Support People – there’s a place here for you too.
Do you always seem to say the wrong thing and wish you came with a rewind button? Identifying with that candy bar commercial voice that says: “Need a moment?”

First of all, thank you for for being there! Now for a…Quick Test:

You spy your beloved eating a cookie post surgery – what do you do?

A. Wrestle it from their hands and put a padlock on the cupboard door. Cookies are always BAD!

B. Trust they know what’s best for their body at that moment. Plus you don’t care for a punch in the nose today, thank you.

C. There is no cookie.

I can help with those types of sticky situations.

Wondering about some of the things I mentioned above? Well wonder no more. Let’s get clear.
I hated to talk about this stuff. I felt dumb for not knowing all the answers. But I also knew that there must be other people going through the same things too.

So, I kept going until I found my people – the ones who understood exactly what I was talking about. This alone has saved me from going through the insanity of doing yet another diet. This is freedom.  Finally feeling confident and comfortable with my body & weight changes – and not being ruled by the scale. This can happen for you too.

You’re not alone.
