Episode 44: Better Decisions… about a GOAL Weight (dealing with Reality)!
Show Notes

When people opt to have bariatric surgery, they are asked several times in the process of preparing for surgery what their “goal weight” is. I find people’s responses very interesting. Some people say they are not overly interested in a particular number, stating instead they are more interested in being off medications, being able to travel, and living longer. Others appear to be very attached to a specific number. My only interest in a person’s goal weight is to determine whether or not it is realistic… based on medical facts. Listen in and find out what those medical facts are when it comes to having a realistic goal weight.
