Bariatric Journeys: Real Stories from Weight Loss Surgery Veterans

You will hear pieces of the interviews I had with the six people who I interviewed today. The good thing with the roux-en-y is because it's not connected to your actual stomach.
Ever wondered what life is like after weight loss surgery? In this episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', host Jay Casale brings together three bariatric patients—Melinda Graham Rich, Jen Clemens, and Kerry Sweeney-Stein—to share their unique experiences. With humor and honesty, they cover everything from the unexpected perks to the downright uncomfortable realities of their journeys. You’ll hear about excess gas, the tricky business of NSAIDs, and even a funny tale involving a son’s popcorn.
But it’s not all laughs; the conversation dives deep into serious topics like mental health impacts, dietary changes, and the importance of a strong support system. Featuring insights from Dr. Kashif Anwar and music by Jared Mancuso, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the real-life ups and downs of bariatric surgery. Whether you’re considering the procedure or supporting someone who is, you’ll find valuable takeaways in these candid discussions.
