Episode 154: Utilizing our Tools with Dr. Eric Smith

In this week’s episode, we sat down with dear friend and bariatric surgeon, Doctor Eric Smith, to discuss how we can fully utilize our bariatric tools so that we can live our best lives after surgery and beyond. 

The conversation took an incredible turn, as always, as we not only acknowledged medical weight loss and being diligent about follow up with our programs, but acknowledging our intentions behind our bariatric journey. Are we setting ourselves up for failure by expecting this to be easy, all while combating the naysayers for saying the exact same thing? 

This was one of our most favorite conversations, and one you definitely do not want to miss!
