From Self-Doubt to Self-Love: Travis’s 10-Year Bariatric Reflection

🎙️ WELCOME BACK OSLP FAM! 🎙️

This week’s episode is PACKED with heart, laughs, and REAL talk as Mel aka melunfiltered.vsg flies solo and welcomes the amazing Travis Lee — aka @Travmc — to share his 10-year bariatric journey. From high school firework shenanigans to post-op revelations, Travis opens up about the challenges and triumphs of being a gay bariatric patient in the Midwest, the power of community, and learning how to live life FULLY after weight loss surgery. 💪🌈

Mel and Travis both celebrate a DECADE post-op, and they’re diving deep into everything from gas pain and first bites, to dating, skin insecurity, regain, and building sustainable routines (spoiler alert: Travis is up at 4am 🕓 and thriving!).
