Today’s guest was initially sleeved in 2012 with weight loss as her ultimate goal. In 2020 she went back under the knife again for revision surgery with health being her number one goal. Her proudest moment so far has been “owning her journey and admitting to her ‘failed’ attempt and still having the courage to try again”. Join us as we sit down with Loretta @rhetski to talk about the highs and low of her 9 year bariatric process.

This week we sat down just the two of us and spoke about the early days. Tips for those who are just about to, or just had surgery. Thats not to say that if you are further down the track you shouldn't listen. We raise some very valid points... - Call yourself out from the beginning - Stop seeking validation and justification from other people - Be honest with yourself We even set you homework! We would love to hear if you actually do it.

Today’s guest went under the knife at 110kg in July 2021 to have a bypass with minimizer ring. Her goals included achieving a healthy weight so she could continue to thrive at life and looking as healthy on the outside as she has always been on the inside. Over the past 20 months she has dropped close to 60kg, moved to the other side of the country and is living her life to the fullest.

Todays guest is someone who we both looked up to from the start of our journeys and have wanted to get on for some time now. We met him back in 2018 when we were right at the start of it all, Sleeved in June 2017, he has been on this weight loss journey for almost 6 years, dropped over 50kg and more importantly, managed to maintain his weight, and create a healthy, happy lifestyle. Please welcome today’s guest - Terry AKA Bariatric Dad. 6 years in the making…. Has this process been everything you thought it would be? Who were you as a person prior to having WLS? Being an overweight kid, what habits did you engrain into your lifestyle that looking back now, may not have been the “healthiest option” but we were taught it was the right thing to do? What was your rock bottom? Your reasoning for having surgery in the first place? At what point in your life did you realise that your weight was an issue and that you needed to do something about it? What has been the hardest part of your journey? You have managed to maintain your weight loss over the course of the last 6 years, what do you attribute your success to? At what point did you engage in physical activity and do you still keep active now? You have been in and out of the community for a long time, what are somethings of the misconceptions you see around WLD that keep popping up? How many times have you fallen off the wagon and had to call yourself out and get back on it? What has been your biggest wake up call over the past few years? What is one thing you got told about WLS that really hasn’t been your truth? Goals for the future Top tip for people starting out If you like what we do and would like to support us head on over to our Patreon page and give us some love.
