Virtual Bariatrics will also be a constant source of support in your journey towards a healthier, more active life. We want to be your partner in this very important journey.
Jenny is a registered dietitian specializing in the field of weight management and Bariatrics. She has worked alongside Dr. Schrapps for the past five years preparing patients for surgery, guiding them through their post operative diet and carefully monitoring their nutritional status. In addition to nutrition education and counseling she also teaches meditation to those who are interested in looking for alternative therapies to maintain weight loss and manage stress.
Though her primary focus is to address nutritional concepts with her patients she views herself more as a bariatric coach. She feels that it is important to meet people where they are in their journey, find out where they want to go and guide them in that direction. Regardless of where a patient is and what they may need at a given visit she simply loves helping people live a healthier more fulfilling and vibrant life while maximizing the results of their surgery.
