Navigating Regrets and Adjustments After Bariatric Surgery

It’s not uncommon for patients to have moments of doubt after bariatric surgery.

Changes in eating habits, lifestyle, and even emotional coping mechanisms can feel overwhelming in the beginning.

Tina’s experience on 1000-Lb Best Friends highlights a critical aspect of this journey: the emotional and mental adjustments that come with a transformed relationship with food.

Sneaking a bite of a favorite food isn’t just about craving; it’s often tied to comfort and old habits.

Adjusting to life after bariatric surgery takes time and patience.

This is why I emphasize that bariatric surgery isn’t just a physical transformation; it’s a mental and emotional journey as well.

Coping strategies are essential:

Acknowledge the feelings: Regret and temptation are normal. Give yourself grace and recognize that change takes time.

Focus on your “why”: Remind yourself of the reasons you chose this path—whether it’s better health, longevity, or a more active life.

Seek support: Connecting with others, like family, friends, or a bariatric support group, can help you feel less isolated in your struggles.

Celebrate progress, not perfection: Every small step forward matters, even if there are setbacks along the way.

Tina’s story reminds us that building new habits takes consistency, effort, and support.

At the end of the day, success isn’t about never stumbling—it’s about continuing to move forward.

If you're considering weight loss surgery or are on your own journey, know that my team and I are here to support you, every step of the way.

Together, we can turn adjustments into habits and habits into a healthier future.

The Journey Before Surgery: Why It Matters

For anyone pursuing bariatric surgery, the process begins long before entering the operating room.

Take Scott’s story as an example from 1000-Lb Best Friends.

He was asked to lose 30 lbs as a measure of his commitment before being considered for surgery.

At first, the challenge seemed overwhelming, but Scott not only met the goal—he exceeded it, losing over 40 lbs.

His elation was well-deserved, and his achievement highlights a vital truth about the weight loss journey.

Pre-surgery weight loss serves several critical purposes.

It reduces surgical risks, helps prepare the body for the procedure, and lays the foundation for long-term success.

But perhaps most importantly, it demonstrates a patient’s readiness to commit to the lifestyle changes that are essential after surgery.

Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool, but it requires dedication to proper nutrition, regular exercise, and ongoing health monitoring.

Scott’s success underscores how taking these steps beforehand can build confidence, reinforce healthy habits, and ensure that each patient is set up for sustainable results.

It’s not just about hitting a number on the scale; it’s about showing resilience, determination, and a willingness to embrace lasting change.

For anyone considering this path, Scott’s journey is proof that even the hardest challenges are possible with commitment and support.

Your story can start the same way—with a single step forward.

💬 Bariatric surgery is only part of the journey 💬

Meghan’s story reminds us that weight loss surgery isn’t a one-step solution.

While she’s ready to keep pushing toward her goals, it’s important to remember that surgery alone won’t create lasting change.

Revision surgery is a serious decision, and I want every patient to understand that real progress comes from daily dedication.

After surgery, success depends not only on the procedure but also on making those important, ongoing choices to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool, but it takes commitment and consistency to see lasting results.

4 Days to Go! 🎬

In one of our bariatric support groups, Tina bravely shared something that many of my patients face—judgment. She opened up about how some people react when she tells them she’s considering bariatric surgery: “What’s wrong, you just can’t put the food down?”

As a surgeon, I see this stigma far too often. But the reality is, obesity is a complex medical condition, and surgery is one of the most effective tools we have to help people reclaim their health.

What Tina, and so many others, are doing takes incredible courage, not only to face surgery but to push past misconceptions and keep moving forward.

In just 4 days, you’ll get to witness more of these stories in the new season of 1000-lb Best Friends. It’s about so much more than weight loss—it’s about community, support, and transformation.

Tune in on October 22nd at 10/9c on TLC to see it all unfold. 📺✨
