Synopsis

In The Weight Loss Surgery Coping Companion, Dr. Kabala assists post-weight loss surgery patients, many of whom have a history of using overeating as a coping mechanism, in identifying healthy, new, non-food related strategies for coping with challenging feelings. With insight and sensitivity, Dr. Kabala leads readers through exercises that help them develop strategies for coping with anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, identity confusion, and the compulsion to overeat-- emotions common to the post-surgery period. Packed with quotes from actual weight loss surgery patients, this book allows readers to recognize that they are not alone in their challenges. Readers walk away with a personalized coping guide that can be used not only during the post-surgery period, but also for a lifetime.
