If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or seek care at an emergency room.
It’s been about 15 months since the term “COVID-19” became part of our vocabularies and began wreaking havoc on “normal life” as we all once knew it. In more ways than can be counted, the pandemic has changed the way people live. So many spent a good part of the year at home in their most comfortable clothes and indulging in comfort foods – for some as a coping strategy and for others, perhaps it was simply out of boredom.
And now? Well, the tides are turning. Slowly but surely, we are seeing the return of some facets of life as it used to be. Restrictions are gradually lifting. People are returning to work in-person and most kids are back in school. We are starting to socialize again. And with the weather warming up as well, we’re thinking about and planning vacations again. With all of that may come a brutal reality check; you may find yourself standing at your closet, scratching your head and wondering how it’s possible that all of your summer clothes from last year no longer fit. Striking a chord? You are not alone.
How bariatric surgery can help.
Bariatric surgery as one tool for weight loss management never has been and never will be a “quick fix” solution. It takes a commitment – not only to undergo a complex surgical procedure, but also to make significant lifestyle changes with focus on health, wellness, and becoming the best version of yourself possible. That said, if you’ve considered bariatric surgery in the past but have never taken or moved past the first step in the process in your weight loss management journey, it may just be that NOW is the right time to act.
