Home: Welcome
Is Living With Bariatrics "Warts & All" the right platform for you ?

YES ! ...

​There is an abundance of 

'unreliable' information out there

and a shortage of

essential, 'appropriate' support !

​

Unfortunately that leads to

 a huge gap 

between bariatric surgery

and long term success

..... BECAUSE

  • I will tell you EXACTLY what it is like to have surgery.

  • EXACTLY what life is like after surgery - "warts & all"

  • How to avoid the most common pitfalls that present themselves  - based on my 20 years of experience and, I will 

  • Cut through the quagmire of information that has popped up online recently

Living With Bariatrics bridges that gap

 

Living with Bariatrics is founded and run by Mel Harris. 

 

In 2004 Mel had a gastric band fitted. 

In 2007 she had the band converted to a Roux En Y stomach bypass. 

She has had her gallbladder removed. A hernia repaired. And she has undergone multiple and extensive skin removal surgeries.

She even had a near death experience!

Sounds like hell doesn't it?

In some ways it was.  However, throughout all that

She has lost a whopping 14 stone, lost 8 dress sizes
and more importantly - kept it off for almost 20 years.

(In Feb 2024 it will be 'exactly' 20!)

NO-ONE is best placed to share all of her experiences with you because there is very little that you might be going through that she hasn't gone through herself and got first hand experience of.

​

No matter where you are on your journey. Whether you are at the point of considering surgery but have many questions and fears, or you may have already had your surgery but still face some challenges or maybe need a bit of a reboot..........

​

Mel’s story is sure to  inform, inspire, motivate and quell fears.

Mel holds  live webinars that always give you the opportunity to have your specific questions addressed.  The webinars cover many different topics and many host some very special guest speakers, all of whom are prolific in their specialist area of Bariatrics. So you have a lot to choose from.
