Informational!

I stumbled upon this podcast and I’ve listened to everything from the very first one to the last . you helped me overcome fears that I had with the surgery I am 4 months post- op (sleeved)and I’ve already reached my goal weight. Still learning how to listen & adjust to my new body, thank you and keep posting more !

Helpful information

I found this podcast today and really enjoy it. I’m in the process of getting approved for VSG so it is helpful to hear the perspective of someone who has gone through it.
I also started a podcast to document my journey so I’ve also been enjoying listening from the perspective of a fellow podcaster.
