Meet Our Host

Jatoyia Armour

Founder/Host

As a bariatric patient herself, Jatoyia embarked on a personal journey of weight loss and recovery. During her own transformation, she recognized the need for a supportive community and educational resources that could bring together bariatric patients from all walks of life.

Driven by a desire to foster connection, inspire transformation, and provide essential resources, Jatoyia founded Bariatric Paths to offer a haven for bariatric patients seeking support, education, and celebration.

Having undergone gastric bypass surgery in October 2023 and successfully losing over 170 pounds, Jatoyia brings a personal perspective to the conversation, sharing her experience, challenges, and successes. She’s dedicated to providing a platform where others feel heard and empowered.
