The United States has the largest obesity epidemic on the planet, opening up a whole new world of cosmetic surgery often born out of necessity. With the advent of bariatric surgery to aid in extreme weight loss, patients are dropping over 100 pounds, leaving them with a whole new problem: loose skin. As bariatric surgery has evolved, methods have changed, but the reality of high cost, a series of follow-up surgeries and the consequential loose skin are only a few of the obstacles on these surgically-aided weight loss journeys. Join Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Rady Rahban and co-host Monique Marvez as they navigate the often unforeseen consequences behind bariatric surgery. Executive Producer: Maria Lopez Alvarez Audio Engineer/Post Editor: Tony Sorrentino Instagram: @DrRadyRahban Facebook: @RadyRahbanMDRadyrahban.com Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
