In this episode of The Up-Beet Dietitians podcast, Emily and Hannah are joined by Jamie Mills, a registered dietitian who specializes in weight loss surgery and bariatric coaching. The girls discuss what bariatric surgery is, who can benefit from it, and how to find out if bariatric surgery is a good fit for you. Jamie dives into some of the most common myths about bariatric surgery and whether they’re valid or not. Bariatric surgery is often a taboo topic to discuss, so we are so excited to share this episode with you where Jamie’s able to break down the myths and share her personal experience with being a weight loss surgery patient.

Jamie is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who specializes in weight loss surgery and bariatric coaching. Jamie isn't just a bariatric dietitian, but a weight loss surgery patient herself! In 2017, after years of struggling with her weight, she finally decided to have the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Since then, she has lost and maintained over 100 lbs. There are so many myths and misconceptions about weight loss surgery, with many assuming it is somehow the "easy way out" or it's "cheating." However, nothing could be further from the truth. In order to be successful after weight loss surgery so many habits and lifestyle changes need to be mad! Jamie helps women navigate post op life so that they can truly change their habits for the long haul and live their healthiest and happiest lives.
