Cut Down to Size covers everything you need to know about bariatric
surgery, from referral through to the challenges you may face after
surgery. Most people who seek weight loss surgery have struggled
for many years to control their eating, and have experienced
increasing health limitations, self-consciousness and
discrimination. People see weight loss surgery as their last chance
for a better, more normal life. While hopeful fantasies about an
alternative future make it hard to contemplate the risk of failure,
some patients experience considerable emotional or physical
problems. This book offers insight into the realities of living
with weight loss surgery, and practical exercises help you think
through your emotional readiness, social circumstances and eating
habits that could determine the success of surgery. Active
preparation for surgery by making psychological and lifestyle
changes puts you in the best position to achieve better health and
emotional wellbeing. Cut Down to Size is the first book to focus on
the psychological and social aspects of weight loss surgery and
will be of interest to health professionals as well as anyone
contemplating weight loss surgery. By sharing the experiences of
other bariatric patients, the reader can appreciate the nature of
life after surgery and make a judgement about their capacity to
cope with these demands.
