What Not to Do Before WLS Episode 207

If you are in the weight loss surgery pre-op phase, this is the episode for you! Kellie and Mel have highlighted a few great reminders of what NOT to do before WLS that will help you stay on track toward your goals. Get ready for some out-loud laughs, gentle reminders, and tough love about WLS. They discuss the importance of finding the right surgeon and not settling on the first one you encounter if something feels “off.” They go into great detail about must-haves when it comes to selecting your surgeon and the bariatric center you will work with along your journey. Kellie & Mel offer great advice as they chat about not assuming WLS will be easy and also not planning for perfection. They make a point to talk about how important it is to take pre-op photos and not hide from the camera. Most importantly, they encourage everyone NOT to quit. There will be times when people project their personal biases in your journey, but remember WHY you are having (or have had) WLS and stay the course. It’s all worth it, as hard as it may be at times. As always, don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help. OSLP is here to help everyone they can along the way.
