Bariatric Surgery Alternative
Dr Wendy Nicholls PhD
Are you looking for an alternative to Bariatric Surgery?
Losing weight can be a difficult journey for many individuals. When you have tried many diets, weight loss surgery, like a gastric band, may seem like the only option you have left. However, a psychological approach to getting in control of your eating offers a valuable alternative to bariatric surgery.
One of the main benefits of a psychological approach is that it addresses the underlying emotional and psychological factors that can contribute to weight gain. A psychological approach can help you with issues, such as emotional eating, and help you identify new ways of coping, which can lead to sustainable weight loss in the long term.
Another benefit of a psychological approach is that it focuses on building positive motivation, and healthy habits. Surgery can lead to rapid weight loss, but it does not address the underlying behaviours that led to weight gain in the first place. Developing healthy habits such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and stress management, can lead to long-term weight loss and maintenance.
A psychological approach is not invasive and considerably less risky than bariatric surgery. Best of all, you can do it from your own home, either in-person or via remote video or voice calls.
Dr Wendy Nicholls is a weight management consultant who has created an innovative and practical coaching programme, based on the psychology of eating, that has helped people like you to gain control of their eating, break lifelong eating habits, and lose weight.

What Wendy's clients say
Serena, Age 37
I now feel equipped to handle difficult situations, that would have lead me to over-eat in the past. I have changed old eating patterns that were no longer serving me. Since our sessions I have lost 2 stone. I couldn't have done this without your coaching.
Sam, Age 54
I now understand my relationship with food much better, which has allowed me to take control of why I eat. Having coaching has taught me to listen to hunger cues, so I can understand what my body needs, rather than what my head thinks I need.
Chris, Age 28
Now I can make healthier choices and not feel deprived because it has become a habit. I am feeling the benefits in that I have lost weight, which in itself has become the reason I choose my health over a quick fix.
