Bariatric Surgery is NOT "the easy option"
Will you lose weight?
Oh Yes !
BUT………
in many ways, it will be one of the most difficult routes to losing weight you will ever have tried.
Regardless of what surgery you undergo, many people struggle or NEVER achieve their weight loss goals.
Even less people keep the weight of long term – and far too many people actually regain their weight!
I find that heartbreaking.
Weight loss surgery will not lose the weight for you !!!!
But if you trust in the process and allow it to to do it’s job – the results will be astounding.
‘Facing the challenge of life without a crutch”!!!
Losing substantial amounts of weight is no mean feat but the challenges we face after surgery can be immense, and keeping the weight off ‘long term’ can be even harder than losing it in the first place.

Why do people regain weight after bariatric surgery
Firstly
Because adapting to life after surgery is far from easy. When the weight starts to fall away, life is great and full of promise – HOWEVER – it’s not long before the noises in our heads come back, the challenges of life re raise their ugly heads and keeping the weight off long term, soon becomes even harder than losing the weight in the first place.
Secondly
The way I see it, not only is there a severe shortage of essential and ‘appropriate’ support for bariatric patients, both on the National Health but also in the private sector, there is also, worryingly, an abundance of well meaning but UNRELIABLE and CONFLICTING information which is now swamping social media.
“LOSING SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF WEIGHT IS NO MEAN FEAT BUT KEEPING IT OFF MAKES LOSING IT SEEM LIKE A DODDLE!”
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Bariatric surgery is the very best, ‘one time only tool’ currently out there to help you lose weight and Living With Bariatrics “Warts & All” will help you treat your ‘surgical tool’ as your best friend rather than your arch nemesis and enable you to achieve your goal and live your best life. Not just for now but FOREVER.
Whatever you are going through – wherever you are on your weight loss journey I have been there and I can help and support you every step of the way.

Up to 76% of bariatric patients regain weight –
I find that heartbreaking.
That is why I set up Living With Bariatrics “Warts & All”…..
- To bridge the gap between surgery and long term success
- To cut through the quagmire of reckless information that is out there
- To bust wide open all the myths that surround weight loss surgery
- To offer relevant unwavering support that has been sadly lacking
- To turn the statistics around from up to 76% of people regain weight to over 76% of people keep their weight off for life
Living With Bariatrics “Warts & All” exists for you…..
LWB is all about:
- Helping you deal with your challenges
- Teaching you how to work WITH your surgery rather than against it.
- Supporting you
- YOU achieving your goals
- YOU keeping your weight off for life
I find that heartbreaking.

I am not affiliated to any weight loss clinic, and I will never advocate any kind of weight loss surgery even though I went down that route myself.
I believe that having surgery is a very personal thing and a huge decision to make.
