Bariatric Therapist, Lora Grabow, joins the DoctorXDietitian duo to share her incredible perspective from decades of experience helping weight loss surgery patients put in the necessary "head work". Grieving coping mechanisms that may be lost after bariatric surgery requires a change to ingrained thinking patterns. Lora shares her sound advice and strategies to feel the feelings, set healthy boundaries, and build and use an effective support team.
