Maintaining Weight Loss

It's very likely you will lose weight steadily each month after surgery. The most rapid weight loss often happens during the first six months after your procedure. Most patients lose over half their excess weight in the first year. At that point you'll be at a much healthier weight.

What then? You may want to continue to work on your weight loss to reach a personal goal. You'll definitely want to keep off the pounds you've lost and continue to develop and maintain those healthy lifestyle changes that helped get you to this point.

Ideally, you'll start changing some of these habits as early as possible. Our Bariatric Surgery Team will work with you to set up meal plans and nutritional regimens. We'll assist you in creating an exercise plan. We will be part of the all-important support group that gives you encouragement and feedback as you make your way from severely obese to a healthy you.

Losing weight is hard work. We want you to know that our Bariatric Surgery Team will be with you every step of the way. Remember, YOUR success is OUR success, too!
