You have taken a significant leap on your weight loss journey; you have courageously committed to and completed surgery, which is a huge milestone to acknowledge.

Now comes the next phase: the follow-up. You may have noticed changes in your body, habits and lifestyle. Some of those will come naturally and fit into place, others may be confusing and harder to integrate into your life.

The importance of a follow-up appointment cannot be underestimated. After you have settled back into your routine, it’s crucial to make sure your body has healed, you are recovering well and your body is functioning as it should be.

Navigating post-surgery change is difficult on your own, follow up appointments give you invaluable advice, accountability, support and encouragement.

Support and Encouragement
