Guest FAQs

Who can be a guest on the Bariatric Paths Podcast?

Anyone with a real bariatric story. Pre-op, post-op, revision, non-surgical weight loss, complications, mental health, cultural food challenges, parenthood, marriage shifts, long-term maintenance, or anything in between. If your journey can help someone else feel less alone, you’re welcome here.

Do I have to be on video?

Yes. Our show is audio and video since episodes are posted on YouTube. Don’t stress, though — you don’t need a fancy setup. Just good lighting and a quiet space.

What equipment do I need?

Nothing complicated.
You’ll need:

• A phone, laptop, or computer with a camera

• Headphones to avoid echo

• Stable Wi-Fi

• A quiet room with no interruptions

We’ll handle the rest.

How long is the interview?

Most recordings take 45 to 60 minutes. Some go a little longer if the story is deep, emotional, or layered. We keep everything relaxed and easy.

What will we talk about?

Your story. Your truth. Your journey.
We’ll cover:

• Why you chose surgery

• Your struggles and breakthroughs

• Mindset shifts

• Real-life challenges

• Life at home, at work, and with relationships

• What you wish people understood

• Any advice or lessons learned

You won’t have to figure this out alone. I guide the entire conversation so you feel supported the whole time.

How should I prepare?

Just bring yourself.
If you want to jot down a few key moments from your journey that matter to you, great — but not required. Most guests feel most comfortable when they show up as themselves and let the conversation flow naturally.

What happens after I submit the form?

Your application goes straight to our team.
If your story aligns with an upcoming theme or episode series, we’ll reach out by email to schedule your recording date. You’ll receive a confirmation, tech check instructions, and everything you need before we hit record.

Can I promote my business, platform, or social media?

Yes. If it's connected to your journey or helps the bariatric community, we’ll include your links in the episode description.

Can I share my episode after it goes live?

Absolutely. Please share it everywhere — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, email, or your website. Your episode can inspire someone who really needs it.

Is there a cost to be a guest?

No. Being a guest is free. Your only job is to show up authentically and be ready to talk.

What if I’m nervous?

Everyone is. Truly.
We take our time, there’s no pressure, and you’re encouraged to pause, sip water, and speak at your own pace. You will be guided every step of the way.
