Bariatric Community Support is Essential Episode 185

Following the unforgettable Just Be You Bariatric Awards, OSLP still feels the amazing sense of community many felt at the event. Kellie and Mel decided to focus this episode on peer support and the bariatric community support they’ve seen and experienced in the last two years of the podcast. They discuss the JBY Award show and the importance of attending live events to connect with other bariatric patients in person. There’s something to be said about being surrounded by people who understand that is positively incomparable. Kellie and Mel talk about being members of T.R.I.B.E, an online community made up of experts, professionals, and patients that have all had weight loss surgery. They mention several sponsors of the JBY Awards and how there’s post-op support in this community for everyone. They urge patients to stay plugged into the community and reach out when they need help.  The bariatric community is a special, safe, judgment-free community that lifts and supports its members. Kellie and Mel are so grateful for this community and look forward to seeing you at a live event soon! OSLP strives to educate and inform the bariatric community and those with predetermined ideas about weight loss surgery.  Join our email list on our website at www.oursleevedlifepodcast.com for the latest OSLP updates, and follow us on Instagram @oursleevedlifepodcast.  Please consider supporting us on www.patreon.com/OSLP and become a Badass Benchie today!
