💜 From hiding in men's jeans as a teenager to losing 130+ pounds and embracing her unique style, Jodi's bariatric journey is one of transformation, confidence, and self-acceptance.

In this episode of the Our Sleeved Life Podcast, Mel sits down with Jodi (@remaking_jodi) to discuss her experience with gastric bypass surgery, body image, excess skin removal, food noise, GLP-1 medications, and the emotional realities of life after massive weight loss.

Jodi shares what it was like growing up as a plus-size teen in the 80s and 90s, why she chose gastric bypass over the sleeve, how she prepared for surgery months in advance, and the surprising mental challenges that came after losing more than 130 pounds.

One of the most powerful moments? Jodi talks about wearing men's Guess jeans in high school because the women's sizes didn't fit—and how those experiences stayed with her for decades. This episode is a reminder that weight loss isn't just physical; it's deeply emotional too.
