Support networks
Education 

Remember... You are not alone. Overweight and obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States and all over the world. Current day estimates indicate as many as 62 to 65 percent of Americans are over weight or obese. The rest of the world trails the US by about 10 percentage points and climbing. While the negative health consequences of obesity are well documented and a variety of diet and exercise programs exist, obesity rates continue to climb.

Let’s be honest! Losing weight and maintaining health is not an event, it’s a multifaceted life process. You and I both know that health is much more than merely prescribing pills, nutrition and exercise. Your surgery is a catalyst for change, however, isn’t what will keep you healthy in the long run.

Studies show that people who have had the surgery will gain weight back without proper focus:

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your satisfaction with your job?

How's your social life?

Are you worried about finances?

How much time is there in your life to for personal growth, education or spirituality?

How are you getting along with your spouse and family?

How integrated are exercise and nutrition into your lifestyle?

Why Bariatric Coaching?

Bariatric Coaching provides a support and educational structure that reinforces the importance of personal values, integrity, fulfillment and life balance in achieving and maintaining over-all health.

A bariatric coach emphasizes the importance of career, spouse, family, finances, fun and recreation, physical environment and personal growth as much as weight loss and maintenance.

Coaching is action oriented with each action designed to move the client towards discovery and accomplishment. In each session the coach and client create objectives to be completed between sessions.

The coach provides a structure of support and accountability as the basis of forming new behavioral patterns that support long term health and weight management.

As each goal is achieved, your confidence, self-esteem, and self control increase.

New behaviors become habit and new life skills become permanent!
