Bariatric podcast

with Patricia hill & dr. Kristin Lloyd

Two Experts. Two Bariatric Patients. Two Best Friends.

When starting any new venture, it’s important to uncover the “WHY”.

The “WHY” for starting this podcast began very similarly to other things on our journeys: PASSION. In all of our research and study, we’ve realized there
is NO one size fits all – for anything. In starting this podcast we decided that we wanted to embrace that same concept…
it will be part fun and silliness, part seriousness and research, part information and investigation.

Our goal is to continue to find out more about living the healthiest way possible and helping people achieve ALL of their goals after weight loss surgery. Through each of our own journeys and our own intense desire to continue to learn and grow our knowledge base, we are committed to continue to investigate the process of lifestyle change and the impact of nutrition after bariatric surgery. We recognize that there is tons more information for post-op living that we don’t know, and as avid learners, we seek to learn more and share more to benefit all: the pre-ops, the post-ops, the newbies, and the veterans.

Why us? Because we are not only experts in our respective fields, but we are also bariatric patients LIVING the life. We get it.
