I went LIVE on TikTok and a question was asked about depression post WLS. The conversation sparked what's missing or not talked about enough in the Bariatric Community.

Would you have wanted someone to lovely talk to you about your weight before it got out of control? Would a weight loss intervention helped you before you had Bariatric surgery or is it insulting to even bring it up? Do you think you would've received their advice or reject it?

It didn't dawn on me that a lot of people who had bariatric surgery struggle with their mental health. Depression, anxiety and binge eating disorder are the biggest factors. That's why building a bariatric community is so important to me. Looking good, being healthy and mental health are all important for long term success.

My dad died when I was 5 month's pregnant with my first child. At my father's funeral, I stood in front of hundreds of people and shared stories of my 6'4, 300 plus pounds father that laid lifeless in the casket next to me. He never met any of my children. They never got to see his face or experience him as pop-pop. They only know of him through stories I share with them. My dad took 32 years to die. It was a slow and painful death that I wouldn't wish on my worse enemy.

My honest opinion confession about loose skin.
