A weight loss surgery support coach understands why you're considering surgery.

A weight loss surgery support coach understands because many times they've had surgery them selves. They know the feeling of trying every alternative to surgery and ultimately, failing at everything.

The consideration and decision of surgery; with all the anxiety that goes with it, is something a coach is very familiar with.

They can offer the support, advice and insight that you need to be successful.

Of course, having the smaller stomach and/or rerouted intestines that come with weight loss surgery is a big help controlling your eating, but if you had issues with food before surgery, there is high risk of having issues with food after surgery.

Your weight loss surgery support coach can help you deal with this and many other issues both pre- surgery and post surgery.

Coaches help people who struggle with the lifestyle changes that come with surgery, turn the corner and make real, permanent changes every day. That’s their business.

A professional weight loss surgery support coach will help you mentally, emotionally and physically to stay positive and on track.

Your coach can work: With you and your doctor, with you and your support groups, one on one, on the telephone and with email to help you:

1. Decide if weight loss surgery is for you.

2. Weigh the plus and minuses of the various surgeries to find the one that’s best for you.

3. Prepare emotionally for the procedure you choose.

4. Deal with the post op lifestyle changes (ensure you develop healthy habits to replace your old habits) and emotional changes that may occur with your self, family and friends.

5. Come to terms with your body image changes after the weight loss surgery.

6. Create a diet with rich in nutrients and just the right calories to keep you on track to reach your optimum weight.

7. Point out your conscious and unconscious patterns so that you can have an awareness of the behaviors that have been ineffective in the past.

8. Create a personalized exercise program.

9. Define a weekly action plan with goals.

<10. Stay positive and inspired.

One last thought on the subject; not all weight loss surgery support coaches are created equal. When you choose a coach you should also know their record of success, and how long they have been coaching

Speak with as many coaches as it takes to find the right one for you. Don't be afraid to look at more than one, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

The coach you choose should not be afraid to discuss their record – if they are, then pick another coach.

A coach with a history of success is much more likely to pass that success on to you.
