I have completed thousands of Pre-Surgical Psychological Evaluations for bariatric patients in the past decade and have run several successful local support groups for weight loss patients. I am the author of four books related to weight loss surgery and am the creator of the MindPrep™ video series, an adjunct program to help prepare patients for the life changes they will encounter throughout their weight loss journey. I speak nationally and internationally to patient and professional groups on the subject of psychological issues pertaining to bariatric patients.

Benefits of having me conduct a live, online weight loss program for you:

  • I understand what needs to be addressed in a weight loss group program environment

  • Expert insight into the process of assisting you in preparation to have a successful weight loss outcome and to keep the weight off

  • Sharing this experience and your issues with other weight loss patients who have “been there” is very powerful

  • Saves you the time, gas and mileage by “meeting” online in the convenience of your own home or office

  • Convenient if you are a rural patient or have a difficult time getting to an office

What people have to say:

"Gain While You Lose" has been truly HEALING! "LIFE ALTERING!" A game changer for me and those who struggle with how we feel about our weight, ourselves, and food obsession. This is the missing link in most weight loss and bariatric programs. Many of us know what we need to do to lose weight but why can't we follow through to lose it and keep it off? Dr. Stapleton explains why and how to heal ourselves from what's holding us back. It's the "Head and Heart Stuff”; The shame, the stinkin thinkin, trauma, etc. The "baggage" I've been carrying all of my life is slowly being lifted. THANK-YOU CONNIE!

With the Gain to Lose, I have gained insight on why I use food to soothe, calm, and fulfill the need within me. I have been able to use the skills and the information given to look at myself, my history, and my situations to make the changes within myself to not use food as a substitute.

Dr. Stapleton's GWYL class has been instrumental in my weight loss journey. The information presented in this class has changed my outlook on weight loss and has helped me reach my goals. Just listening to the class is helpful, but doing the homework helped make me apply things to my life. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that is looking for lasting changes to their weight loss journeys. 
— Jennifer G.

I learned I had trauma I needed to deal with, not abuse but dealing with sickness, several deaths the last 20 years. Not being able to have a baby and losing my husband to cancer even thou I thought I had dealt with it. I am learning to set boundaries, stop always saying yes just to make everyone happy. Not feeling guilty because I said no. My body needs time to heal from the abuse of carrying so much weight and issues for years. Giving myself Grace, acceptance and I am worthy of being loved. This class, Dr Connie, the group and the great friendships I developed lifted me up when I needed it. 
— Beverly R.

I have taken Dr. Stapleton’s Gain While You Lose class a few times now.  Something that has stuck with me is the thought of either being a dreamer or a do-er.  If I want to grow and change then I have to start doing the things that will help me get there. Dr. Stapleton talks about how shame has a big role in how it affects our everyday lives.  I never realized how much shame could affect my weight loss or other areas in my adult life.  Very eye opening!!
