Weight Loss Surgery Podcast - Bariatric / Lap Band / RYGB / Gastric Bypass / Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
This episode features food addiction specialist and author of "Food Junkies: Recovery from Food Addiction," Dr Vera Tarman.
info_outlineThis episode is a little different because I am on the other side of the mic. Rather than asking the questions, I am answering them. Podcaster Don Moe asked me to be a guest on his podcast, Weigh In Radio. I was honored he asked and had fun chatting with him, so much so that I decided to share the episode here with you.
If you are not familiar with Don’s podcast, Weigh In Radio, I highly recommend you check it out. He launched his podcast in August of 2018 and to date has published 12 episodes with more coming. Don is someone who is personally affected by obesity and he has included bariatric surgery, specifically Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, a.k.a. the Sleeve, as part of his treatment plan. Through both thoughtful interviews and commentaries, his podcast focuses on helping people along their weight loss journey, whether bariatric surgery is part of that journey or not.
I am happy to lend my podcast platform to Don if that helps him help more people. His heart is in the right place and his podcast is excellent. I highly recommend you become an active subscriber of Weigh In Radio and the community he is building over there. His podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
