Making the decision to have a weight loss procedure can be truly life changing. It’s the exact moment that you make a promise to yourself to change your ways and live a healthier life. A weight loss procedure won’t do all the work for you, but it can be a great tool to help you achieve your goals. There are so many procedures to choose from, how does one even begin to make that decision?

Well, let’s take a look at some of the most important factors that should be taken into consideration when deciding which weight loss procedure is best for you.

What Are Your Goals?

What do you want to achieve?

The results you want directly reflect which route you should take, because different weight loss procedures and surgeries offer different results. For example, the amount of weight you’re looking to lose or your history with weight loss could make a certain weight loss solution a more suitable option for you. That’s just one of the many reasons why it’s so important to speak with a weight loss specialist. A weight loss professional, like one of our experienced and kind experts at SmartShape™, can help you determine which solution is best for you.

What are your non-scale goals? Do you want to fit into a size 6 instead of a 16? Or do you want to be able to play with your children as they grow up, without the fear of obesity-related diseases weighing you down? Have you always struggled with weight loss, and just want to feel comfortable in your own skin? Tired of not seeing results, time and time again?

These are all goals and factors that should be taken into consideration. Here’s a little activity to help you think about your goals, before you schedule a consultation with our weight loss experts at SmartShape™.

Grab a pen and paper, and think about what you want from your future. Do you have hopes and dreams of traveling around the world, having children, getting married, starting a new career, or maybe starting up a new hobby? Write them all down. Next, go into detail about your goals over the next six months, 12 months, and five years.

Sometimes putting pen to paper can help you realize your deepest hopes and dreams. If these goals and ambitions go hand-in-hand with a lifestyle change, then it might be time to book your weight loss consultation.

Your Current Lifestyle and Health

There are a few factors that may affect your eligibility for the weight loss surgeries offered at the SmartShape™ Weight Loss Centre. Most of these factors are based around your current state of health, lifestyle, and your will to make a change.

If you aren’t open to changing your lifestyle, including meeting with weight loss experts, sticking to a healthy diet, and exercising regularly, then you may not qualify for weight loss surgery. In saying that, the weight loss surgery that works best for you may be dependent on your current state of health.

If you suffer from one or more obesity-related diseases, you might not qualify for a certain procedure, while another is perfectly safe. It all depends on what is the safest route for you, with the highest chances of you achieving the results you desire.
