Choosing a Surgical Weight Loss Program
One of the most frustrating components of your weight loss journey will be finding the right doctor with the right weight loss program that will fit your personal needs. Think about this for a moment. You’re taking a huge step toward personal life change. To be successful, it is necessary that you are in control and you have all the support, educational resources and coaching available to achieve and sustain your weight loss goals: yes, those goals you have failed to accomplish for many year, perhaps a life time.
One of the leading causes of unsuccessful surgical weight-loss surgery is the lack of program support “after the surgery.” You can blame the surgeon, he or she did they part. You only have yourself. You are responsible for your health care; you are responsible for selecting your surgical provider; you are responsible to look for the right program and you have choices. Do not take these choices lightly.
One of the most important choices you’ll make on your weight loss journey is selecting a doctor (or team of doctors) to be your partner on your health journey. Remember that you are looking for a weight healer – a doctor with both technical and human qualities.
Identifying a doctor is not rocket science but choosing the right doctor is more challenging. Our insurance companies point us in the direction of doctors daily; billboards promote their faces; radios speak their names, and news papers promote their practices. But finding that special doctor who becomes your weight loss health partner, your weight loss coach, that is supported with a team of professionals requires investing time and energy and a willingness to trust your feelings as much as you trust their credentials to make your decision.
