Everything to know if you've had WLS overseas
What: 45 minute webinar via Zoom
Host: Kate Berridge, metabolic bariatric nurse specialist
When: Tuesday, July 29th, 7pm

If you've had weight loss surgery overseas, recently or years ago, this is a practical guide to life.

Kate has cared for thousands of metabolic bariatric patients in the last 20 years, and this webinar is an overview of the type of care that helps you get the best out of it.

Weight loss surgery patients face a lot of mental and physical challenges in the days, weeks, months and years after surgery.

Kate will discuss:
- the critical role of getting enough protein (spoiler: you're almost certainly not getting enough protein)
- the vital importance of regular blood tests (for life)
- why a good quality, metabolic bariatric-specific vitamin is crucial and what to look for when choosing one
- physical issues that might seem unimportant that are warning signs
- common issues Kate sees in patients, including malnutrition, ADHD/ASD
- the mental and emotional phases patients go through in the months and years after surgery
- why you may face regain and what to do about it

This webinar will include a question and answer session at the end.

If you can't join us live on the night, the webinar will be recorded and we will send a link to a replay a day or two later.
