Losing weight is no walk in the park.
Even with the help of weight loss surgery, you will have to make some significant lifestyle changes to lose the weight and keep it off for good. We understand just how difficult that can be. Which is exactly why the SmartShape™ Weight Loss Centre provides patients with a comprehensive weight loss support team. This team of coaches and medical professionals can help guide you with care and support as you make your way to the finish line in your weight loss journey.
Let’s find out more about how a support team can help you follow a weight loss procedure!
What is a Support Team?
A support team is a group of weight loss experts who are here to help guide you following a weight loss procedure. The SmartShape™ Weight Loss Centre offers several different weight loss solutions, including the LAP-BAND®, gastric sleeve, and mini gastric bypass.
Following your procedure, you can feel comfortable and confident knowing that you have ongoing support from your team. If you have any questions or concerns about your recovery, you can get in touch with your coaches, a nurse specialist, or even your surgeon to resolve your concerns, so you can get back to your stress-free weight loss journey.
Regular communication with your support team is highly recommended. Your coaches, nurse specialist, surgeon, and a registered dietitian can help you to:
- Ensure that your body has healed properly following surgery
- Track your progress
- Overcome a weight loss plateau
- Find weight loss solutions if an obstacle arises
- Live a well-balanced healthy lifestyle

They will assist you in developing various weight management techniques and strategies until you find what helps you reach and maintain your goals. Some of these strategies can include lifestyle changes, proper nutrition, overcoming emotional eating and incorporating more exercise into your daily life, among many others.
Your coach can help you overcome weight loss plateaus and find solutions to anything that might be standing in the way of your goals. Your coaches will do everything they can to provide you with the motivation, guidance, and support that you need to lose weight and keep it off for good.
You can connect with your coach via educational webinars, Skype, email, by appointment, or over the phone. We can ensure that your coach will work tirelessly to help you achieve the confidence that you need to reach your goals and make your weight loss program work for you.
Nurse Specialists
The nurse specialists at the SmartShape™ Weight Loss Centre are available to provide you with the help and care that you need, when and as often as you need it.

They can also provide you with personalized counseling, so you can feel comfortable and confident as you begin your new life.
