Episode 28: TikTok vs. Reality: Separating Bariatric Facts from Fiction


Listen Later

The bariatric journey doesn't end with surgery—and social media isn't telling you the whole story.

In this eye-opening episode, Hannah and Steph dive deep into the dangerous world of viral weight loss trends and their impact on the bariatric community. From TikTok misinformation to curated success stories that hide real struggles, they're exposing the gap between social media fantasy and post-surgery reality.

What you'll discover:

  • Why that viral "bariatric hack" could actually harm your progress
  • The cultural eating differences that social media ignores
  • How to spot dangerous misinformation in your feed
  • Real strategies for long-term success beyond the honeymoon phase
  • Why following medical advice trumps following influencers

Whether you're pre-op, post-op, or supporting someone on their bariatric journey, this episode will change how you consume health content online. Hannah and Steph remind us that "this is a marathon, not a sprint"—and your health deserves better than viral trends.

Warning: Some misinformation discussed could be life-threatening. Always consult your medical team before making any changes to your post-surgery routine.

Join the conversation and share your own experiences with responsible, fact-based bariatric content.
