Empowering you to live well with diabetes.

From surgical complications to switching from food addiction to other addictions, bariatric surgery can potentially lead to many complications not discussed by most. This episode explores post-surgery struggles, weight regain statistics, and psychological impacts that deserve more attention.

As a triple board-certified endocrinologist and obesity specialist, I've seen hundreds of my patients before and after bariatric surgery where I've gained unique insights into the realities of this procedure.

I'm not here to tell you not to get bariatric surgery - it can be life-changing for the right person.

Having evaluated thousands of patients, I've identified key patterns that can predict success or struggle after surgery.
