Synopsis

Katie Jay's groundbreaking Weight Loss Surgery Stages of Transformation is more than a description of the emotional and psychological stages many WLS people move through after weight loss surgery (WLS). It is also an explanation about how to move through the common post-surgical stages, with a focus on the mental and emotional changes and challenges that often take place. The WLS Stages of Transformation describes, normalizes, and demonstrates a process to improve a person's long-term WLS outcome potential.
