Bariatric surgery patients can experience a multitude of emotions after surgery. The first few weeks can cause hormonal shifts which can cause mood swings. Going forward, some set backs in how you feel around food, especially if you typically relied on food for comfort or when you hit a plateau, can arise making you feel frustrated, depressed or overwhelmed. Others can experience food fear as they are afraid to regain weight. As time goes on, people may experience body dysmorphia or imposter syndrome. While exercise and eating healthy can benefit mental health, seeking help for mental health as bariatric patients go through various stages in the post op process can be extremely helpful. PsyMed Health is an expert in mental health counseling for bariatric patients and always taking new clients.

The Single Anastimosis Duodenoileostomy with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S) is becoming slightly more popular, however, insurance is slow to offer coverage as an option for the SADI-S due to how new the surgery is. Insurance companies are slooowly coming around and hopefully soon it will be an option for those seeking this surgery. The surgery doesn't come without risks, however. Psych and nutrition counseling is vital in bariatric surgery including the SADI-S. There are multiple vitamin deficiencies that can occur without the appropriate supplementation and education. It is also important to make sure the patient is mentally prepared for the long-term behavior changes that come with the SADI-S. PsyMed Health has experience counseling patients who opt for the SADI-S and is happy to be your go-to for any psych and nutrition counseling needs. #bariatricsurgery #medicalweightloss #obesitymanagement

Today we pause to remember the events of September 11, 2001, and honor those whose lives were lost and the heroes that came out of such a tragic time in our nation's history. We will never forget.

GLP-1 agonist medications (i.e Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic Saxenda, etc) are becoming increasingly more popular for weight loss as well as for other health conditions. In our current practice, we have noticed some of these medications, when not followed with proper diet and exercise, can lead to muscle loss and sometimes too much weight loss. It is important to make sure you are consuming a healthy diet and exercise regimen, including cardio and resistance training to maintain long-term success with these medications. Scheduling an appointment with a registered dietitian can help you make the most of using these medication for successful weight management.
