Melinda Schuster offers bariatric support for life after gastric sleeve or bypass surgery

2+ year Post-Bariatric Sugery

AND

fighting the same battles?

The gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or gastric band was a tool, not a mute button. If the scale has stalled (or gone up), old habits have crept back in, or your inner critic won’t shut its mouth…YOU are not alone.

This post-op bariatric support group with online courses, just might be what you are looking for!

JOIN THE BARIATRIC SUPPORT MINI-COURSE

Because no one warned you about the “after, after”. You know…the mental side of life beyond bariatric surgery.

  • The first year of post-op is all structure, milestones, and cheers from everyone around you. But now?

  • The scale has stalled - that weight regain after your gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery.

  • Old habits (and emotional eating) are sneaking back in.

  • The guilt and shame feel louder than your wins.

  • Staying “disciplined” feels like a full-time job no one prepared you for. (Whew…this one has become exhausting for me.)

  • Your bariatric support group or accountability partners? They’ve moved on… and you’re left wondering if you’re the only one still struggling.

This mini-course isn’t about diets, macros, or restrictions.

You’ve already done the surgery (gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or gastric band) and you know the food rules. What you need now is a way to quiet the chatter, challenge the guilt, and create a mindset that supports long-term bariatric success. No more mental health struggles after surgery.

A post-op bariatric support system designed to help you rebuild confidence, stay consistent, and feel in control after weight loss surgery.

The VBM Framework

  • Notice

    Rewire

    Swap the old default mode for something that actually works in real life (not just on Monday morning).
