S2 Ep1: Angela’s Bariatric Weight Loss Journey Self-Care is Non-Negotiable

In this episode of BariDiaries™, I sit down with Angela Poll to talk about her powerful journey through bariatric surgery — and the life she’s created on the other side of fear. Angela opens up about discovering a Center of Excellence right in her hometown and realizing that surgery wasn’t giving up — it was finally choosing herself. Together, we talk about the highs, the hurdles, and the honest truths of post-surgery life: from food allergies and overeating to rebuilding self-trust and body confidence. Her wisdom is raw and real — reminding us that comparison steals joy, self-care is non-negotiable, and that healing is never one-size-fits-all. If you’ve ever questioned your worth, your strength, or your next step, Angela’s story will remind you: transformation starts with permission — yours.
