Teaching Case: Weight-Reduction Surgery: A Viable but Often Overlooked Option

Peggi Guenter, PhD, RN

Editor-in-Chief, NCP, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This may be due to the lack of knowledge on the part of the counseling health care professional. This teaching case provides one patient's experience with a weight-reduction surgical procedure and how she came to learn about this option.
