Life After Surgery
Patients who follow the nutrition guidelines and incorporate an exercise program into their life usually lose significant weight following their surgery.
It is important to remember that the surgery is only a tool. You must make healthy lifestyle choices for weight loss success. Choose low-fat / low-sugar foods, take daily dietary vitamins, and increase your physical activity to enjoy a happier, healthier life. We are here to help.
