Let me know what you thought of this episode!

Are you confused about how to take control of your health after weight loss surgery? Monitoring your weight and diet is only one aspect but bariatric surgery can affect every single body process because what you eat is what you become. 


Don’t forget to take some time to look after your body and monitor your health before something goes drastically awry. Think of it like taking your car to the mechanic. You don’t want to end up at the mechanic for the first time when something catastrophic happens to your car. This works the same way. 


We discuss many different aspects of what you need to check after WLS. As an overview, we discussed: 

  1. Pathology - what to test for and how often
  2. How to look at the health of your bones 
  3. Red flags for gastrointestinal health - reflux and bowel changes 
  4. What to assess when looking at your weight, nutrition and movement
  5. Other health considerations that may be unique to your body. 

 

Working through each of these annual health checks outlined in today’s episode should help you feel empowered and clear of how you can improve your health after weight loss or bariatric surgery. 


Here is the resource: What you need to monitor yearly after bariatric surgery. 


I hope you found today’s conversation interesting and practical.
