Long Beach Seminar:
Be a WLS Rock Star! How to Make Your WLS Life a Big Hit (Or Stage a Comeback if You've Regained)
Dear WLS Friend,
Are you finding weight loss surgery to be more challenging than you hoped it would be?
(I want to skip the reading and register now!)
One woman said to me, "I thought I was prepared, but I wasn't. I just didn't think it would be this hard for this long!"
While you may be blaming yourself for your struggles, it's important to remember that it's not your fault. You weren't taught the right way to deal with the challenges you are facing.
That's why I am offering a powerful seminar to help WLS patients learn what the real issues are and how to address them. (You can view the preliminary agenda here!)

"You made a big impact on me when I heard you speak. In fact, I told my friends at the time that your speech and meeting you were worth double the fee for the seminar. I was right and glad of it." -Roxanne R.

As a weight loss surgery patient who has successfully dealt with weight regain, and as an MSW and wellness coach, I have walked-the-walk, done the research, and learned what really works -- and what doesn't -- in order to find peace with food, your body, and the scale; and to be empowered in your life.
While the surgery is imperfect, there are things we can do to find our way to peace with food and better health.
At this rare, entertaining, and information-packed event you'll learn:
-
The three critical things you must do to make a WLS comeback, and find peace with food, your body, and the scale.
-
What the one biggest obstacle is to WLS success. (You may be surprised!)
-
What character traits predict success and how to develop them.
-
The number one thing we tell ourselves that undermines our progress.
-
The Stages of WLS Transformation™ and where you really are on your journey.
-
How to use the stages to your advantage and pinpoint the exact things that will help you overcome your WLS challenges.
-
What you need to do to keep motivated and create lasting transformation.
"Katie, you really know what to say and when to say it. The self sabotage, fear of success, and the voices from the past -- I thought I was the only one! This is what makes your message so powerful. You teach from experience, you know because you lived it and you sincerely care. Thank you." -Paula B.

A one-of-a-kind event with a one-of-a-kind speaker!
"I have heard many presentations and attended many workshops since my surgery, and somehow I have found them to all be lacking in some way. Most of them seemed "canned" and the presenters seemed to be walking through their material. Not so with Katie Jay.
Her speech at the [patient] graduation was heartfelt and motivating. The next day at her seminar, she was professional, poised, and extremely knowledgeable -- and also very approachable.
Katie spoke to us the way you would speak to a good friend -- with candor, understanding and humor. I heard more than one person remark after both presentations that Katie Jay was hands down the very best speaker that St. Vincent Charity Hospital's Center for Bariatric Surgery had ever had. And I most wholeheartedly agree!"
Monica S.
"Katie, just a quick note to tell you what a wonderful job you did [with your presentation at] the reunion. It is so important to stay motivated in our journeys, and I am so very thankful for people like you who do such a wonderful job helping each of us."
Helen P.
"Katie, you are a great resource!"
Holly W.
"I can't thank you enough for giving so much of yourself. It has been the golden key that has unlocked many things for me including beginning to build and strengthen the belief that I am worth it and can do it. There aren't words enough to express how thankful I am for you."
Janice Y.
"I find things you have said staying in my head!"
Carol L.
"Katie, I just wanted you to know that I was really struck by the creativity and effectiveness of your ideas…. You are really good at what you do!"
Penny S.
"Katie, you are like the sun coming out on a cloudy day! So inspirational… so many gems to take away."
Beth
"You are truly a blessing in MY life and I am forever grateful."
Melanie D.
"Our patients thoroughly enjoyed their interactions with Katie and our program staff unanimously agreed she was the best graduation speaker we have had. If she would agree to it, I would have her be our keynote speaker every year.
It is clear how much Katie believes in what she is doing. She offers hope, motivation and inspiration to weight loss surgery patients but doesn't deny the reality of the likely difficult journey they are on. She helps patients examine themselves in order to gain insight and make positive changes but not in a way that results in harsh judgments or self-recriminations. Perhaps this is because she is willing to stand before other weight loss surgery patients and admit her own difficulties but show that she overcame them in her own weight loss journey. Katie truly is an asset to the bariatric surgery community."

"In June 2009 our hospital, Southeast Georgia Health System, invited Katie Jay to present an all day workshop for our weight loss surgery patients. The patients loved it!
They learned additional skills that will assist them with their long term success. They laughed, they “played”, they shared, and most of all, they 'connected' with Katie. I cannot say enough positive things about our time with her."
