Are GLP-1 medications replacing bariatric surgery, or is the entire approach to weight loss evolving? In this enlightening episode of the Our Sleeved Life Podcast , host Mel sits down with veteran bariatric and metabolic surgeon Dr. Eric Smith to discuss why his practice completely eliminated traditional bariatric seminars in favor of comprehensive "Obesity Consults." If you are navigating weight loss choices, struggling with GLP-1 dosage escalation, battling cravings, or wanting to master sustainable habits without restrictive diets, Dr. Eric drops invaluable wisdom on the science of metabolic health! 👇 SUBSCRIBE for weekly transparent conversations, bariatric success stories, and evidence-based health tips! https://www.youtube.com/c/OurSleevedLifePodcast?sub_confirmation=1 🌟 IN THIS EPISODE: Dr. Eric Smith breaks down why only 1% of the population with obesity historically sought surgical treatment and how offering unbiased, full-spectrum care (from GLP-1 medications to bariatric surgery and whole-food nutrition) is revolutionizing patient outcomes. We also take a deep dive into: Real-World GLP-1 Data vs. Clinical Trials: Why real-world medication weight loss drops to 7--8 compared to 20% in clinical trials due to long-term compliance challenges. "Chemical Noise" vs. "Food Noise": Why "food noise" is largely a pharmaceutical marketing term and how processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and diet sodas chemically trigger brain cravings. Whole-Food Nutrition on a Budget: Why whole foods (beef, fruit, sourdough, potatoes, vegetables) eliminate brain fog, restore natural fullness signals, and stop food fixation without starving yourself. Controlling the Controllables: How sleep hygiene, sunlight exposure, cortisol management, and muscle preservation dictate long-term metabolic success far more than quick-fix interventions. 💬 JOIN THE DISCUSSION: Do you prefer a clinic that offers both medication and surgical options under one roof?

Dr. Beidas explains the anatomy of skin layers, how stretch marks form in the dermis, and what surgeons look for during a physical exam. We also explore the reality of living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), hypermobility, and Sjögren’s syndrome, as well as why smoking or using nicotine before surgery increases your wound healing complications by 4x or more.

Dr. Dovec reveals the mind-blowing findings inside Mel’s abdomen including a corkscrewed/twisted stomach pouch, a large Type 3 Paraesophageal hiatal hernia suctioned up into her diaphragm, an un-dissected retained fundus that was 3x wider than normal 75mm vs 35mm, and incidental endometriosis!

Visceral Fat & GLP-1 Impact: Showing how 11 years of sleeve lifestyle combined with GLP-1 medications eliminated nearly all intra-abdominal visceral fat in the omentum. Preventing Complications: Demonstrating how closing the mesenteric defect (Petersen's space) with permanent Ethabond sutures prevents future internal hernias and bowel obstructions.

The Cutting Edge #26 Are you currently taking a GLP-1 medication (like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound) and planning for plastic surgery or general anesthesia? In this critical episode of The Cutting Edge Podcast, host Mel sits down with bariatric therapist Ashlyn Douglass-Barnes and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Omar Beidas to unpack the medical, psychological, and surgical risks every patient must know. If you are navigating weight loss surgery, post-bariatric skin removal, or GLP-1 therapy, this video explains why stopping your injection before surgery isn't optional—it could literally save your life. 👇 SUBSCRIBE for transparent, expert-backed insights on bariatric recovery and plastic surgery! https://www.youtube.com/c/OurSleevedLifePodcast?sub_confirmation=1 🌟 IN THIS EPISODE: While GLP-1 medications are revolutionary for weight loss and metabolic health, they carry a hidden risk under general anesthesia: delayed gastric emptying. Dr. Beidas breaks down the surgical science of aspiration risk (when undigested food enters the lungs during surgery) and explains why his practice strictly mandates stopping GLP-1s $2\text{ weeks}$ before surgery and holding them for at least $4\text{ weeks}$ post-op to ensure proper protein intake for wound healing. We also tackle: Debunking "Microdosing": Why surgeons hate this non-medical term and what smaller/frequent dosing actually means. Gray Market Peptides & Retatrutide ("Reta"): The extreme dangers of buying unregulated peptides online vs. joining official clinical trials via clinicaltrials.gov. Mental Health & Dopamine: How GLP-1s impact mood, anhedonia ("feeling meh"), food noise, and addiction pathways. Visceral vs. Subcutaneous Fat: Why losing 20lbs--30lbs of internal organ fat with GLP-1s before a tummy tuck leads to vastly superior surgical results. 💬 JOIN THE DISCUSSION: Did your surgeon give you specific pre-op instructions regarding your GLP-1 medication?

Men get plastic surgery too… but nobody really talks about it 👀 In this episode of the Cutting Edge Podcast, we’re having a conversation that honestly feels long overdue. From loose skin after massive weight loss to gynecomastia, body contouring, high-definition liposuction, and even the mental side of body image this episode dives into what men actually experience after bariatric surgery and weight loss. Dr. Omar Beidas breaks down the most common plastic surgery procedures for men, including tummy tucks, lower body lifts, chest contouring, male BBLs, fat transfer, and skin removal surgery after weight loss. But what makes this conversation so interesting is how much of it goes beyond the surgery itself. Because for a lot of men, it’s not just about appearance. It’s about confidence, functionality, masculinity, fear of judgment, and trying to feel comfortable in their own body again. We also talk about: male body dysmorphia, unrealistic expectations in plastic surgery, revision surgery red flags, why some men avoid surgery even when they want it, and how societal pressure affects the way men approach cosmetic procedures. There’s a huge misconception that plastic surgery is “just for women,” and this episode challenges that in a really honest, funny, and surprisingly emotional way. Whether you’re considering plastic surgery after weight loss, curious about male body contouring, struggling with loose skin, or just interested in the psychology behind body image and confidence—this episode has SO many important conversations packed into it. 🎧 Watch now on YouTube or listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and iHeartRadio.

Epi 352 What autoimmune disease REALLY does to your body goes far beyond occasional fatigue or inflammation. In this episode of the Our Sleeved Life Podcast, we sit down with resilience coach and medical professional Nikolett Demeter from Pop Recovery to have an honest conversation about chronic illness, lupus, gut health, bariatric nutrition, inflammation, and what it actually feels like to live in a body that’s constantly fighting itself.
