For those people who are considering Gastric Bypass surgery please make sure to tell your surgeons about any extended release medications you are taking. Gastric Bypass surgery prevents your body absorbing extended release medication properly so it is likely you will need to adjust your medications.

I want to apologize for being absent from the page for a while. It is my hope that I can be more active on the page in order to be more helpful to the community of bariatric patients.

In conducting evaluations over the last 12 years and working in a number of capacities with the bariatric commmunity one of the most consistent things is the cycle of blame people get into regarding being overweight. It is important to remember that being overweight is due to a complex structure of factors such as genetics, health conditions, medications that you may/or have taken, dieting history, and life circumstances (family, work, etc). While we have to hold some accountability for our weight struggles there are a number of factors that are at play, that are not your fault. It is hard to go against the messaging that it is "all your fault" however, it is not. If you can get past this message (I know it's easier said than done) your journey to successful weight management will be a lot easier.

One of the things I come up against the most during my work is when people feel that what they are experiencing is only happening to them. They often feel that this somehow makes them unique (and not in a good way) or that they are doing something wrong that no one else is doing.

This is especially true when people describe their weight struggles. They share that they are only able to lose 20lbs at a time through a diet and then regain most if not all of it back. They believe they are d**g something wrong that no one else is.

Please remember if it is happening to you it is happening to others and it is not your fault.

Got asked this week "what is a support system?" My answer is that a support system is anything that you have that helps you achieve your goal. The best support systems are large, diverse, and provide lots of options. Remember, support systems are never complete and are always growing.
