Spoiler Alert- we think this is one of the BEST patient-to-patient conversations we have had to date on the podcast. ⁠

Don't get us wrong...we have had some AMAZING conversations with fellow bariatric friends, but this one was so far-reaching, so targeted to our emotional and physical changes, and really dove into the hard things that we don't want to talk about or admit- that our friends, family, and even strangers treat us differently after bariatric surgery and then again after plastic surgery. Either real or perceived, these changes mess with our minds and our hearts.⁠

In this DEEP (and long) conversation with Veronica @vko_1977, we wanted to know three things: how did you make the decision to have plastic surgery, how has your body recovered, and did it "do" for you what are you hoping for plastic surgery would do? Turns out...those were some loaded and packed questions! No matter where you are in the process, you will find this conversation insightful, meaningful, and relatable. ⁠
