Bariatric surgery is an amazing gift that can help you lose weight. However, weight loss surgery typically requires a complete re-haul on your lifestyle and relationships after surgery. It will teach you to stand up for yourself, to set boundaries with other people, to ask for what you want, and to be willing to reach out for help. It will demand that you to challenge an all-or-nothing mindset and to encourage improvements in your self-confidence, self-esteem, and overall trust in yourself. All of which can be difficult in the setting of food addiction and bariatric surgery.

In this week’s blog post, Dr. Connie Stapleton and I explore the topic of food addiction and bariatric surgery and the role it plays in the disease of obesity and life after surgery for bariatric patients.
