Your Journey. Your Way.

Because surgery changes your body — not your mind, not your heart, and not your life overnight.

The hardest part of weight loss isn’t what happens in the operating room — it’s everything that comes after.
The mental ups and downs. The relationship shifts. The new habits. The old temptations.

Bariatric Paths exists to talk about that part — the real part. Through stories, podcasts, and community, we focus on helping you grow beyond the procedure.

We make real talk part of recovery.

We don’t promise perfection — we promise perspective.

Here’s how we show up for you:

🎧Podcast: Real stories from real people walking the same path.

💬Community: A private Facebook group where honesty and humor are welcome.

📘Resources: Practical tools, blogs, and guides to support life after surgery.

🎟️Events: Live and virtual experiences that connect you to others on the same journey.

Hi, I’m Jatoyia Armour — but you can call me Toyia.

As a bariatric patient, I know firsthand what it feels like to lose the weight but still feel lost.
Bariatric Paths started as my personal healing journey and became a platform for connection and truth.
Now it’s a growing community where we lift each other up, learn together, and remind ourselves that transformation doesn’t stop at surgery.

This is your space. Your story. Your journey.

Whether you’re thinking about surgery, recovering, or redefining your path years later — you belong here.

Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

What makes Bariatric Paths different?

We keep it real. We talk about what happens after surgery — the emotions, the mindset, the daily life — not just the before-and-after photos.

Nope. Everyone’s welcome — pre-op, post-op, or just exploring non-surgical options. Your path is yours, and you belong here.

No — we’re a support community, not a clinic. Always follow the guidance of your medical and mental health professionals.
