Hey men…have you thought about bariatric surgery but that’s where it ended? Gentlemen, I’m talking to you. In a world where a lot of men don’t talk about personal health issues, particularly bariatric surgery, Henry from my private FB group steps forward to share his story. You don’t want to miss it.Visit Procarenow.com Use Code: Susan60 to get a free bag of protein powder with $60 purchaseI’ve always felt that men are under represented in the bariatric surgery world. The stats for surgery skew heavily towards women even though there are equal rates of obesity among American men and women. Of the surgeries performed about 80% are women and 20% or less are men. Why is that? Stigma? Bullying? Are men not as aware of their health issues? Lack of support?Joining me today from California is Henry Baker, whom I met thru our private FaceBook group. When I read his story and his desire to share it and empower men to consider surgery if warranted, I asked him to join me today.In this episode we cover: Henry's weight loss surgery storyWhat held him back from having surgeryWhat was his as-ha moment that made him decide to have surgery/His recent skin removal and hernia surgeryHis Covid experienceHis lifestyle changes and mindsetWhere Henry is todayHis message for youGuest: Henry BakerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthy_henry1118/ Facebook: Chitown Man"I love Dr. Susan and Bariatric Surgery Success."
