loss, and our bariatric dietitians are experienced in evaluating patient diets to ensure optimal weight loss. If you are considering weight loss surgery or have recently had an operation, it is essential to understand that bariatric surgery is not a permanent solution by itself. To be successful after bariatric surgery, you must combine proper eating habits, healthy food choices, and increased activity and exercise.
What to Expect
All of the patients at Live Healthy MD are required to attend consultations with one of our registered dietitians throughout their journey and receive individual nutrition counseling for weight loss success. The dietitian will work alongside your physician to plan an individualized meal plan that will aid in weight loss. Every patient at Live Healthy MD has FREE access to our dietitian and nutrition counseling sessions for life.
The Benefit
Bariatric surgery works by restricting the amount of food a patient can consume or by reducing your body’s ability to absorb food. You will be absorbing fewer calories and fat as a result of surgery. However, that means you will also be absorbing fewer vitamins and nutrients. Therefore, it is critical to monitor the postoperative diet to ensure you are receiving the recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals. In most cases, patients will need to supplement with multivitamins and nutritional supplements. Live Healthy MD is committed to the health and well-being of our patients and works hard to provide the tools necessary for long-term weight loss success.
