  • Love the information

    Love the info shared on this podcast and as a bariatric patient I’ve learned a lot thanks to the guest they interview but the foul language is undesirable in a podcast and makes me want to stop listening. 4 stars because of the language only. Otherwise such good info for vsg, please include some DS guests and info too!
