In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed bariatric surgeon, Dr. Eric Smith, also known as @doctorericsmith_ on IG. We discussed:

• How Dr. Smith got into bariatric surgery and the difference between robotic and laparoscopic bariatric surgery
• Dr. Smith's philosophy around using body composition and muscle gain as a way to track and measure success after surgery
• What Dr. Smith advises around exercise guidelines and changing your nutrition to fuel your activity
• How to prevent hypoglycemia during physical activity with dietary changes
• What habits help someone be successful long term after surgery
