Includes exclusive access to REALIZE mySUCCESS®
Experts agree that bariatric surgery patients require help to adopt a new
healthy lifestyle and to stay in touch with their bariatric team. That’s why
the REALIZE Solution provides more than weight
loss procedures. Patients who choose the REALIZE Solution gain exclusive
access to the REALIZE mySUCCESS® Program, which is designed to help you
achieve and maintain a healthier weight.
REALIZE mySUCCESS® was designed in consultation with bariatric surgeons,
dietitians, and behavior modification specialists to guide you through two
stages that have been identified as essential for success following surgery.
Stage 1: building healthy habits over the first 18 months. Stage 2: staying
motivated, on track, and connected with your bariatric practice over the next
18 months and beyond.
You’ll learn and practice strategies that will help cement your healthy
habits—and help you achieve your healthier weight. To help maintain your
healthier weight, REALIZE mySUCCESS® keeps you connected with your
bariatric team and allows your doctor to step in precisely when needed to keep
you on track.
You can start using REALIZE mySUCCESS® before your weight loss surgery
to help you start changing your habits and improving your health. Only
patients who choose the REALIZE Solution have access to the complete set of
REALIZE mySUCCESS® features and tools after surgery.

activity, and staying in touch with your bariatric team. Find
