Making the WLS Choice

A thoughtful and thorough 4-week process to help you make a fully informed decision whether Weight Loss Surgery is the right choice for you.

4 one-hour weekly telephone conference sessions for only $100!

Is weight loss surgery right for you?  What are your medical weight loss treatment options?This is a four-week, four-session facilitated and coached group process, limited to a maximum of ten participants.

I am a knowledgeable and experienced group facilitator, coach, counselor, and mediator who has lost 160 pounds and transformed my health and fitness in the first year after my WLS. My columns are featured in WLS Lifestyles magazine. I have no stake or investment in whatever decision you make – other than my commitment to helping you make a fully informed choice that is right for you. I am not affiliated with any bariatric surgeon, clinic, hospital or interested party.

Group topics will include:

  • a balanced “cost-benefit” analysis of the pluses, minuses and risks of Weight Loss Surgery;
  • realistic and full disclosure of the physical, emotional, relationship and lifestyle consequences and implications of the surgery and recovery;
  • choices of procedures and surgeons; costs and insurance;
  • the impact of WLS upon relationships and support systems; and
  • resources to help you decide and to support you if you choose WLS.

Each session will feature a carefully structured curriculum and process, deep and honest sharing and discussions, and opportunities for questions and answers. I will suggest exercises for you to work on between sessions to help you make the best decision for you. Members will enjoy access to your own unmoderated “members only” internet message board to stay connected, share and interact in between weekly sessions, and even after they end. Finally, I will try to respond to your individual questions and concerns by email as time permits.

I will pay for the teleconferencing “bridge” that makes it possible for all of us to join the group call together. You will pay the telephone toll charges for connecting to the conference calls. For example, if you have a telephone plan where long-distance calls cost you $ .05/min., you’ll pay $3.00 for a one hour conference call connection.

By the end of the four sessions, you will be ready to make your decision, and to share it with your peers who have joined you in this group process. You will also have bonded with a community of colleagues with common goals, challenges and experiences who may continue to be a powerful support and resource for you, whether or not you choose to have Weight Loss Surgery.
