Gastric bypass: post surgery Support
The evidence shows that strong support structures are linked with weight loss and maintenance success after gastric bypass or sleeve surgeries. Of course, here at Tailor Clinics your long-term success is always our goal—that’s why we have implemented a systemised approach to post-surgery support. There is an array of resources made available to those experiencing the changes to their stomach, eating, and lifestyle as a result of a gastric bypass or sleeve.
Our group therapies and other support resources focus on helping patients to make lasting lifestyle adjustments. They provide an excellent platform to allow you to share successes and failures, as well as providing a sense of community and encouragement.
We encourage you to get involved in any structured gastric bypass/bariatric surgery support system or platform. Share your journey to receive and provide encouragement. Foundations of Healthy Living Retreats, Walk ‘n’ Talk activities, and our Facebook pages are all community-orientated and we can recommend some third party support providers as well—see below.
Jaala dyer: health coach
Jaala is an award winning Health Coach and Nutritionist who specializes in helping people overcome food addiction.
She’s a foodie who loves to cook and is learning to garden. She loves cooking with fresh local ingredients and experimenting with low sugar recipes to share with her large family. So far her garden has been a spectacular failure, but she remains positive that one day she’ll be able to grow more than mint and parsley.
Her interest in food addiction came from lived experience, as a bariatric patient who had gastric sleeve surgery in 2021.
She’s also a Yin Yoga Teacher, and enjoys helping people find enjoyable ways to move, both for their physical AND mental health.
2022 was an award winning year for Jaala. In June, she won HCANZA’s Health and Wellbeing Coach of the Year in a Healthcare Setting for Australia and New Zealand, and followed it up a few weeks later winning a NZ award for Prekure Health and Nutrition Coach of the Year.
Jaala is based in Hamilton, but works with people all over NZ via Zoom.
