The best bariatric surgery teams are the ones that realize that what happens after the surgery is just as important as the surgery.

"What Happens After Bariatric Surgery Makes A Big Difference"

True for sure! So many people think that once the surgery is done, they are done. This is indeed a lifelong committment and a constant watch of what we are doing all the time. If we let things pass, we will revert back to our old selves and be back where we started.

@Missouri-Lee's Summit

very true. - if your team is there for you after WLS that's great. Help with nutrition, etc. They

should be there, help/support advise. But maybe you need to initiate the visits/follow ups

with the group for them to help you.

Unfortunately - my "team" wasn't there for me. It was more like "slam, bam, thank you ma'am. 😞

i called my NUT, she had left the team. Transferred to new NUT - she didn't seem to care.

Luckily with the help of this board and OP - i have survived the past 7+ years PO well.

Hopefully most people have those great "surgery teams" that i missed out on
