Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) is a major life decision. People consider having WLS for many different reasons, not just to lose weight, so many factors are involved. As such, my services address the social, psychological, and physical challenges and opportunities of WLS by offering practical tools and coping strategies. These services are appropriate for individuals considering WLS or who have already undergone WLS.
My clinical knowledge and expertise played a major role in succeeding with the weight loss part of WLS. My research training also made it easier to identify credible resources and tools for support. In addition, I interviewed individuals who had undergone the operation and regained weight to identify the reasons for their regain. The strategies I offer my clients are therefore based on my personal experience, my professional expertise, and the insights gained through extensive research.
