Back in 2011, Heidi Stepanoff had Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure, a decision that was not taken lightly for someone who always took a more natural approach to things. Luckily for Heidi, she shared a gym with her General Practitioner who noticed her weight gain and ongoing struggles to lose it. After trying every diet and pill known to man, Heidi finally had the courage to see her doctor and seek advice and with the positive support she received, Heidi went to an information night hosted by WeightLoss Solutions Australia where she learned about the surgical options for weight loss and realised it was just another tool to help achieve her goals. Twenty years later, Heidi has found her true self. Now living life to the fullest with more energy, being an active mother to her two children and setting a healthy example, a strong working single mum and becoming the successful Dive Master she is today. This episode is an eye-opener into the life of someone who was never living their truth, one that was held back by excess weight. Heidi's journey is just beginning, she plans to continue writing fiction with the hopes to one day be able to take it to publication. For full episode details, go to www.felicitycohen.com

We yarn with Amy from Blenheim about her weight loss surgery journey. Travelling to Mexico to go under the knife (pre-covid) in November 2019, Amy had a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy and her life has changed in so many wonderful ways since. We chat about being a solo parent and her Dad travelling with her as her support person, chronic illness, clothing (she makes her own), baking (she once trained as a Chef), how making food has always been an outlet for her and how that has changed post-op. Disclaimer: I call this episode one but it ended up being episode two and I'm not about the re-recording life.

In July of 2011 I had a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. and I spend this episode discussing what the process was like before and how it affected me afterwards. Rapid weight loss affects hormones, metabolism and body image, and requires a new commitment to a brand new way of life. Loose skin, sliding back into old junk food habits and continually tweaking my response to all of it are among the challenges I faced and still have been addressing over 8 years later. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/destinationbegin/support
In this episode I bring you my conversation with Ted Kyle, RPh, MBA. Ted founded ConscienHealth in 2009. He is a pharmacist and healthcare innovation professional who works with health and obesity experts for sound policy and innovation to address obesity. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Obesity Action Coalition, advises The Obesity Society on advocacy, and consults with organizations addressing the needs of people living with obesity. His widely-read daily commentary, published at conscienhealth.org/news, reaches an audience of more than 15,000 thought leaders in health and obesity. His peer-reviewed publications focus upon weight bias and policy related to health and obesity. As such, Ted is perfectly positioned to share with us his list of the Top 10 Milestones in Obesity and Health over the past 10 years. Discussed in this episode, # 10-# 1: 10. The Rise of ObesityWeek: We discuss what is ObesityWeek and why does this conference matter. 9. The Mediterranean Diet Hits a Speed Bump: In 2018 the original authors of the PREDIMED study audited the study’s data and execution and they found problems. For about 14 percent of the study’s 7,447 subjects, assignment to a treatment group was not random. Taking those problems into account, they still found lower rate of cardiovascular events for people in the Mediterranean diet groups (compared to a lower-fat diet). But the bold claim of cause and effect evaporated. The original conclusions said the diet “reduced the incidence” of cardiovascular events. The new conclusion says “the incidence was lower.” This difference might seem small but it’s the difference between causality and association. 8. Plants Are IN, But Carbs Are OUT: As demonstrated by the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans in 2020. 7. Vibrant Support and Advocacy for People with Obesity: The rise of the Obesity Action Coalition. 6. Sugar Is Poison: Dr Robert Lustig's Sugar-is-Toxic video 5. A Whole New Specialty for Obesity Care: American Board of Obesity Medicine came into existence. 4. Surgery for Diabetes: Understanding that Bariatric Surgery is an endocrine surgery that changes the hormonal communication between the gut, adipose (fat) tissue, and the brain. The logic is inescapable. Type 2 diabetes is a cruel, progressive disease that slowly, but surely destroys a body from the inside out. Strokes, heart disease, amputations, organ failure – they’re all part of a bleak picture. Intensive medical care can slow it down. But metabolic surgery can put it into remission. Three years ago (2016), a remarkable consortium of 45 expert organizations endorsed metabolic surgery for type 2 diabetes. And yet, 97 percent of people who might benefit still don’t receive metabolic surgery. 3. New Drugs for Obesity Treatment: Liraglutide (Saxenda), Naltrexone & Bupropion (Contrave), Phentermine & Topiramate (Qsymia), and Lorcaserin (Belviq), with more coming. 2. Sleeves Take Over from Bands: Bands peaked in 2007. As of 2018 Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is the #1 procedure of all bariatric surgeries. 1. Less Explicit Bias: Bias comes from selective blindness to facts. Explicit bias refers to attitudes and beliefs we have about a person or group on a conscious level. Implicit bias refers to thoughts and feelings we hold without conscious awareness regarding a person or group. Some of the more common biases we can hold against a person are based on their weight, sexuality, race, age, skin tone, or disability. The risks of implicit and explicit bias is that people become sicker because of denial and inaction. Less (NONE!) of both types of biases would be better but less explicit bias is certainly a start.

This episode is a little different because I am on the other side of the mic. Rather than asking the questions, I am answering them. Podcaster Don Moe asked me to be a guest on his podcast, Weigh In Radio. I was honored he asked and had fun chatting with him, so much so that I decided to share the episode here with you. If you are not familiar with Don’s podcast, Weigh In Radio, I highly recommend you check it out. He launched his podcast in August of 2018 and to date has published 12 episodes with more coming. Don is someone who is personally affected by obesity and he has included bariatric surgery, specifically Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, a.k.a. the Sleeve, as part of his treatment plan. Through both thoughtful interviews and commentaries, his podcast focuses on helping people along their weight loss journey, whether bariatric surgery is part of that journey or not. I am happy to lend my podcast platform to Don if that helps him help more people. His heart is in the right place and his podcast is excellent. I highly recommend you become an active subscriber of Weigh In Radio and the community he is building over there. His podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week’s episode of Volume Up with Leslie Jespersen is for anyone who has ever struggled with their weight. Leslie’s away this week, and Charlee is joined in the studio by two dynamic women who have (also) undergone a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy- weight loss surgery. These three women are getting real and raw about WLS, food addiction, and how profoundly losing a significant amount of weight can change a life. Carrie Vasquez is a Personal Trainer with Star Fit Club whose clients fuel her continued success at 3 years post-op. Lori Lopez is a busy mom navigating the complex emotional journey of WLS 2 years out. Both women share their struggles and successes with food and weight loss. In our first hour, the ladies discuss why they chose to have surgery and take some questions from listeners. We tackle the “easy way out” myth as well as addiction and addiction transfer, weight regain, and the serious psychological work of healing from a dysfunctional relationship with food. In the second hour, we’re talking relationships: family, friend, and romantic. Have our families always been supportive? Did we lose friends? What about the statistic that 75% of marriages where one partner has had WLS end in divorce? If your relationship with food has ever left you feeling hopeless, this episode is direct from us to you. We’re coming at you with the good, the bad, and the sometimes heartbreaking side of weight loss surgery. We’re coming at you with the surety that you CAN change your life.
