One of the Just Be You Bariatric Awards Show sponsors, Dr. Fridley of Surgical Associates of Bayonet Point, joined Kellie and Mel on this episode.   Dr. Fridley discusses why he decided to become a bariatric surgeon, his private practice, and his thorough approach to aftercare with WLS patients. He talks in detail about how to work with him and his team and what to expect as a patient of his practice.   Dr. Fridley also speaks about the importance of hydration, calcium, and taking vitamins as a bariatric patient. Additionally, he helps us understand why a body composition scan can be valuable in determining how to move forward with added exercise and targeted weight loss.   You can find Dr. Fridley and his practice, Surgical Associates of Bayonet Point, on their website or on Instagram @sabp_weightloss. Kellie and Mel are energized by what Dr. Fridley offers to his patients, and their hope is he can help lead the way to how Bariatric programs should support their patients.   OSLP strives to educate and inform the bariatric community and those with predetermined ideas about weight loss surgery.    Join our email list on our website at www.oursleevedlifepodcast.com for the latest OSLP updates, and follow us on Instagram @oursleevedlifepodcast.    Please consider supporting us on www.patreon.com/OSLP and become a Badass Benchie today!   OSLP-APPROVED PRODUCTS: www.procarenow.com www.devotionnutrition.com   OSLP Amazon Store Front: Portion Perfection and more   OR OSLP APPROVED PRODUCTS LINKS:⁠ @procarenow OSLP⁠ ⁠@devotionnutrition OSLP⁠ @portionperfection 15OSLPOD @the.t.r.i.b.e.membership OSLP⁠ @obvi OSLP15⁠ @builtbar OSLP⁠ @hidratespark OSLP⁠ @javy OSLP20
