First, it is important to become aware of any psychological factors that have been obstacles to achieving a healthy weight loss goal.

For example, the presence of a mood disorder like depression, stress eating in response to various triggers like work or relationship stress, and even unknown triggers like boredom or social overindulgence, are all factors that will continue to exist post-surgery.

Bringing these factors into awareness is crucial so you can work toward overcoming these obstacles to help increase your chances of success.
