Do you think that by having surgery you will lose all of your excess weight? Does bariatric surgery guarantee you will never regain your weight back? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are just some of the questions I will be addressing along with questions you should be asking yourself and your surgeon before making a decision to have bariatric surgery. I want to help you be well-informed before making the choice to have surgery.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResearch studies are beginning to look at factors that may affect long-term weight loss success, as well as factors that contribute to long-term weight loss failure. Have you ever really taken the time to evaluate the reasons why you reached the weight you are at today? As you know, your weight gain did not happen overnight, which means, long-term weight loss success will not be achieved overnight either.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight control will be a lifelong process and will include self-discipline, follow-up, and hard work, even after you have bariatric surgery. So, my question is, Are you prepared to take this journey?","brand":"Cheryll Cota","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153133977840,"sku":"2940016223902","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016223902_p0.jpg?v=1763631000","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016223902","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
