Our Sleeved Life, the Podcast
My name is Mel, a nearly 10 year VSG patient, passionate about sharing my journey, eliminating the stigma surrounding weight loss surgeries, weight loss medications, and everything in between.
The podcast started in 2020, because there was nothing like it in the community. I knew something needed to be done to help new and struggling bariatric patients find a safe place to learn and feel supported.
Although bariatric education has gotten better since my surgery nearly 10 years ago, there are still so many holes in it. Not to mention tons of misinformation swarming around in the community.
Patients deserve to have all the information they need, the tools they need to succeed, and to hear the stuff no one talks about…
Which is why I’m here to talk about it.
I hold nothing back, I share with you the nitty-gritty of life as a bariatric patient. The good, the bad, and the downright absurd!
I’m on a mission to deliver clear, informed content to you, the listener, through bariatric community experts and patients.
On the podcast, experts that are active in the bariatric community are interviewed
Surgeons
Therapists
Dietitians

Companies creating products for the Bariatric Community
