Great podcast!!

I wish this podcast was available when I had VSG 12 years ago, I lost 100 lbs ( not goal) and have gained back 75 lbs. I have isolated myself because seems like I have failed again and so much loss in my life. I have that negative voice telling me I’m 61 and it’s too late, even had drs tell me no hope at my age. Please keep up the good work, so glad I found y’all!! ♥️
