    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!

  • You’ll find support here.

    Very inspiring hosts and great experts. When I need extra support or motivation, this is one of the podcasts I go to. Jason’s audio is a bit muffled compared to April, but that’s easily fixed!
