The prevalence of obesity has doubled in that past 25 years, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and experts predict a steady rise in coming years.
As a result, the instances of bariatric surgery are on the rise. To optimize surgery outcomes, participants must adopt healthy habits such as eating well and increasing physical activity before bariatric surgery and continue these habits for life. Most experts agree that there is a strong need for a pre-treatment program focused on lifestyle behaviors. Ceridian/Leade Health's Bariatric Surgery Management uses that model - offering coaching pre and post surgery and identifying the candidates who are most able to adapt their lifestyle to ensure on-going success.
Offer dedicated health coaching
Participants receive coaching from the same health coach throughout the program, ensuring continuity and trust.
Ensure program success
Bariatric Surgery Management is able to identify good candidates for surgery and optimize the outcomes. It can also recognize candidates who are unable to make needed lifestyle changes for long-term success. Those individuals are diverted to non-surgical treatment in an appropriate, clinically sound manner.
See progress in participants
With an intensive coaching call model focusing participants on new habits prior to surgery and following up to ensure maintenance, participants are more likely to succeed in maintaining weight loss.
