This checklist helps you see — calmly and clearly — what actually matters before surgery, and where you can best focus your energy now.

Not to overwhelm you.

Not to add pressure.

But to help you feel genuinely prepared — not just medically cleared.

If you’re here, chances are something already clicked.

You may be approved, scheduled, or actively moving toward surgery — and yet there’s a quiet awareness that preparation isn’t just appointments and protein shakes.

Not because you’re doing anything wrong.

But because bariatric surgery changes more than eating — and much of that isn’t talked about clearly or early enough. Most people only realize this once they’re on the other side.

This checklist exists for that moment.

It doesn’t tell you what kind of patient you should be.

It simply helps you see where you already feel solid — and where things still feel a little unclear.

That awareness isn’t about doing more.

It’s about moving into surgery with confidence, a clearer sense of what’s ahead, and fewer surprises along the way.

The Pre-Op Readiness Checklist is designed to clarify the difference between being cleared for surgery and feeling truly prepared for it.

Many people move through this stage focused on requirements and timelines — without ever having the space to step back and look at how eating, routines, mindset, and daily life will actually change.

This checklist creates that space.

Most people only recognize what would have helped once they’re recovering from surgery.

This checklist lets you notice those things earlier — while there’s more time to calmly work through them.

A short, thoughtful PDF you can move through at your own pace.

No pressure.

No overwhelm.

Just clarity — so you can move into surgery feeling prepared, not guessing.

For people who’ve said yes to bariatric surgery and want to feel genuinely prepared.
