Preparation for Bariatric weight loss surgery is a time to focus on making healthy lifestyle adjustments. Adopting a healthy Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) program can provide the benefits of significant weight loss, decreased co-existing conditions, reduced liver size, and improved nutritional status. These life changing modifications reduce the risk of surgical complications and promote a quicker recovery. Additionally, this program will prepare your mind and body for the essential dietary and behavior changes that will be necessary following surgery and for life.
