Things You Should Know
If you're tired of yo-yo diets that don't work and ready for a permanent solution to your weight problem, you've made the right decision to contact New Reflections!
We have a highly experienced team of people who can evaluate your overall health, tell you if you're a candidate for weight-loss surgery and make the process as pleasant as possible.
It's important to understand that at New Reflections, we believe that for the best possible results, you have to be an active member of the team. This means that if you are selected for surgery, you will need to make some dramatic changes in your lifestyle both before and after surgery. You will need to:
- Eat healthy food in smaller portions
- Exercise on a regular basis
- Stop smoking
- Attend support group meetings on a regular basis (or call us anytime you have questions or concerns)
- Follow doctor's orders
Also, you should know that like all operations, weight-loss surgery carries risks, such as pneumonia, blood clots, heart attacks, bleeding, infection, and stomach leakage. There is also a one in two hundred risk of death, which is less than that of coronary artery bypass surgery, but still something to consider. Your doctors will discuss these risks in detail with you before surgery.
Finally, in order to succeed, you must want to succeed. We will help you, but ultimately, it will be you who will make the daily decisions that will lead you down a path to success, so you need to be committed!
Program Director, Jana Hanson, has a favorite quote from Albert Camus that sums up the inner strength and commitment of those who succeed:
"In the midst of winter, I found there was within me an invincible summer."
If you are determined to succeed and you're ready to begin the process, call us toll-free at 1 (888) 255-5678 to speak with a counselor or email us at info@newreflections.com.
Picture yourself thinner, healthier and happier!
