Ep8 Whitney Adams @imperfectprogress

Welcome Home to BariDiaries, Whitney Adams knew more than most about what could go wrong with bariatric surgery. As an ER nurse, she had seen complications firsthand, making her own decision to have surgery anything but simple. Whitney joins Cece to share how she worked through those fears and ultimately chose bariatric surgery for herself. She also talks about the importance of choosing the right facility and bariatric team, and why the people caring for you can matter long after surgery day. And because real life after bariatric surgery isn't all serious, Whitney and Cece get into something every bariatric patient eventually has an opinion about: protein. Whitney's story is a reminder that being afraid doesn't mean you aren't ready to move forward. Sometimes courage is understanding the risks, asking the questions, and still making the choice that feels right for your life.
