Welcome back to the Regain Be Gone Podcast. My name is Sameera Khan, RD PA-C. I am a registered dietitian and nutritionist. This podcast is for people who have had bariatric surgery and are struggling to keep the weight off. Today I’m chatting with Jeanine Hylander, who is officially 100 lbs down from her surgical weight. That is such an amazing milestone to achieve.
We talk about the importance of the ACE study and questionnaire, as well as the effect of childhood abuse on people who are considered overweight or obese as adults.
