About this listen
What is it really like to support someone through bariatric surgery?
In this special mini matinee episode of Bariatric Banter, Hannah is joined by a very special guest—her mom, Mary Ann—for an honest, down-to-earth conversation about what it looks like to be on the other side of the bariatric journey.
From the moment Hannah announced she was having surgery, to attending surgeon appointments, navigating holidays, changing family eating habits, and learning how to support without judgment, this episode dives into the role family plays in long-term success.
They talk about:
- How family members actually feel when surgery is announced
- Why support doesn’t have to mean completely changing how everyone eats
- Reading labels, portion sizes, and avoiding “diet culture traps”
- Navigating holidays, desserts, and traditions after surgery
- Why communication and respect go both ways
Whether you’re considering bariatric surgery, already post-op, or supporting someone you love—this episode is for you.
