  • Ep 223 - Understanding Revisional Bariatric Surgery: A Compassionate Approach to Patient Care and Support with Dr. Melissa Bagloo

    Ep 223 - Understanding Revisional Bariatric Surgery: A Compassionate Approach to Patient Care and Support with Dr. Melissa Bagloo
    Nov 20 2024
    Do you feel like you might need revision surgery but carry shame, fearing it means you "failed" your original procedure? Dr. Melissa Bagloo of Advent Health joins us to bring insight and encouragement. She’ll walk us through what revisional bariatric surgery is, explaining that sometimes it's necessary—not due to any fault of the patient. Dr. Bagloo also shares how to know if you’re a candidate for a revision and why finding a surgeon you trust is vital. We share our journeys, which include revision surgery, and discuss why it’s essential to understand that obesity is a chronic disease requiring ongoing care. Plus, we explore the challenges of tracking bariatric data and the importance of choosing a highly skilled surgeon. Don’t miss this discussion about whether revisional surgery might be the right step for you. IN THIS EPISODE: [0:28] This episode is sponsored by Advent Health Central Florida. [1:17] Revision surgery is defined as a surgery that comes after your original surgery and is nothing to be ashamed of. [4:02] Jason and Natalie share their revision stories. [8:03] When patients are too high-risk, revision surgery is often necessary. [13:25] There are continual advancements in bariatric surgery. [21:09] Getting the proper patient/physician relationship and support from the BariNation Membership Community. [23:40] When would a patient know they would benefit from revisional surgery? [26:22] Jason and Natalie reveal when they knew they were candidates for revisional surgery. [37:10] What to look for in a surgeon. [42:49] Advent Health offers self-pay options if insurance refuses to pay. [52:56] How to make connections to Advent Health and take advantage of Special Advent Health Discounted Monthly Member and Join the BariNation Membership community to support your journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Revisional bariatric surgery is sometimes a necessary step, often due to factors beyond the patient’s control. Both patients and providers need to see it as part of a continued journey, not a failure. Finding the right surgeon is essential: Patients considering revision surgery should seek a surgeon experienced in various bariatric procedures and with whom they feel comfortable. Obesity is a chronic disease. Obesity requires ongoing management and care, and addressing the emotional aspects, such as patient shame, can improve patient experiences and long-term results. The critical point is understanding and accepting that it is a chronic disease.

  • Ep 222 - Debunking the Pouch Reset Diet: Healthy Habits for Long-Term Wellness with Dr. Edmund Chen

    Ep 222 - Debunking the Pouch Reset Diet: Healthy Habits for Long-Term Wellness with Dr. Edmund Chen
    Nov 13 2024
    Have you ever wondered if the pouch reset diet is a good idea or too extreme? In today’s episode, Dr. Edmund Chen joins us to break down the myths and misconceptions surrounding pouch reset diets in bariatric surgery. Dr. Chen dives into why quick-fix approaches can be dangerous and emphasizes the importance of building healthy eating habits and staying in touch with your healthcare team. Together, we discuss the goals you should focus on—like non-scale victories and realistic milestones—and why BMI alone doesn’t define your health. This conversation is all about redefining success and staying positive on your journey! IN THIS EPISODE: [:29] Check out the BariNation online membership community. [2:30] Is the pouch reset diet a good idea or too extreme? [5:23] Going back to the basics of tracking and measuring your food. [7:17] Faithfully using the Bari Good Day Checklist found in the BariNation community to stay on track. [9:21] Talk to your healthcare provider when you have a concern. [12:50] Dr. Chen gives the listener advice on this chronic disease. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Pouch reset diets are not a healthy approach to eating. They mimic the highly restrictive calorie intake of the initial one to two weeks after surgery, which is not sustainable or balanced long-term. Consistent healthy eating habits and regular exercise will help you achieve your weight loss goals. Being mindful of what you eat and making nutritious food choices will significantly affect your overall well-being. Many people let their emotions trigger unnecessary panic about their progress. Instead, focus on setting realistic goals and lean into support from the BariNation community. If you’re feeling discouraged, contact your medical provider—they can guide you through the steps needed for your unique situation.

  • Ep 221 - The Truth About Carbs: A Bariatric RD’s Perspective with Andrea Luongo

    Ep 221 - The Truth About Carbs: A Bariatric RD’s Perspective with Andrea Luongo
    Nov 6 2024
    Should you eat carbs or should you not? That is a common question we see not only in BariNation, but also everywhere we look on social media. Today we have Bariatric Registered Dietitian, Andrea Luongo on the show to share the truth about carbs. We discuss what carbs are, what role they serve in our bodies, and which are best for the bariatric journey. She discusses how to utilize different types of carbs and why whole foods are so important. Lastly, she talks about why self talk and self trust are essential when it comes to eating. Tune in, and don’t forget to join us in the BariNation Membership Community or become a Patreon Supporter, where we continue all of our conversations with bonus episodes! We are excited to announce that Andrea has joined our panel of experts in BariNation and will be leading monthly nutrition classes! She is such a wealth of knowledge, we cannot wait to hear her first talk. IN THIS EPISODE: [2:50] Andrea introduces herself. [7:34] Why do carbs get such a bad rap in our world? [12:12] Is it ok to have lower carb intake after surgery? [15:42] How does our body utilize carbs? [18:39] Why is fruit such a feared carb? [23:06] Why are whole foods so important for our diet? [30:32] What is emotional hunger? [32:20] April shares about her challenges being on a GLP-1 and eliminating the hunger desire. [37:09] Why does self talk and self trust matter? [40:53] Learn how to get more access to Andrea through our membership and Patreon! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Carbs are the body’s preferred source of energy and are necessary to keep our body from using muscle mass. Your body needs all macronutrients - protein, fat, and carbohydrates. If it is missing one, it will have to utilize the other and then you’ll be under feeding certain parts of your body and cells, or your body won’t be able to create certain cells. It’s not about doing everything all at once at the same time, perfectly. It’s about learning these things as we go and implementing them and experimenting along the way to see what works for your unique body. You are ok to eat, it's about a balance, and not a perfect balance. Start to learn your carvings and it’s ok to have carbs, just learn which one your body is asking for.
