For years, obesity treatment felt stuck.

But at, one thing was clear: GLP-1s aren’t the enemy — they’re expanding what’s possible for patients.

From using them before surgery, after surgery, or alongside surgery, the goal is simple: more tools, better outcomes, and more lives changed.

This isn’t the end of obesity treatment.
It’s the beginning of a new era.

If you’re struggling with weight and wondering what options are right for you, schedule a consultation and let’s talk about a plan built for YOU.

Straws don’t ruin bariatric surgery. But timing matters.

Right after surgery, your stomach has very little space and even swallowing extra air can leave you feeling bloated, full, and struggling to get in the hydration and protein your body actually needs.

The good news? There’s no evidence that straws stretch your pouch or cause weight gain long term.

Recovery first. Myths second.

Not every great bariatric surgeon is on social media. And not every surgeon on social media is the right fit for you.

The most important thing is finding experienced, accredited care that aligns with your goals, your health, and your journey.

#bariatricsurgery #weightlosssurgery #wls #wlscommunity #bariatriccommunity
The future of weight loss treatment isn’t surgery vs. medication. It’s knowing when to use the right tool for the right patient.

Real results happen when care is personalized, data-driven, and built around YOU.

Rain or shine, our community showed up. 💙

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the TREO Foundation’s The Walk – Georgetown 2026. From our patients and community members to our sponsors, Kentucky Bariatric Institute team, and Centerpoint Health staff, your support made this event truly special. Despite the rain and storms, the energy, encouragement and sense of community never stopped.

We are grateful for every step taken and every contribution made in support of obesity awareness, education and patient support. Thank you for helping make this event such a success.

One of the biggest conversations at this year? GLP-1s vs. bariatric surgery.

The reality is this: GLP-1 medications are changing obesity treatment in incredible ways. But when researchers compare outcomes head-to-head, bariatric surgery still shows a larger impact on diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk.

This isn’t about choosing sides. It’s about making sure patients get the right treatment for the right situation based on real data, not just the loudest marketing.

What are your thoughts?

Obesity was never meant to be fought alone.

If you’re in Kentucky, join THIS SATURDAY, May 16th. Whether you’re a former patient, current patient, considering treatment, or simply want to support the cause...YOU belong here.

Congratulations, Aidan. Watching you grow from my firstborn into the man you are today has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. You truly embody what it means to be a servant leader, and I know you’re going to leave a mark on this world. Summa cum laude in aerospace engineering—and now chasing your PhD. The journey is just getting started. I love you buddy.
I’ve watched fight hard for her health and her future. 500+ pounds lost, but what she’s gained—confidence, freedom, and joy—is even greater. Her journey continues on a new season of #1000lbSisters tomorrow at 9/8c.
May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, a critical time to recognize the connection between obesity and mental well-being. Did you know individuals living with obesity face a 30-70% higher risk of developing a mental illness? Remember, you are not alone in this journey.

Our online #bariatriccommunity is a powerful force for support and empowerment. This month, I urge you to share your story.

Grab a piece of paper and reflect: What has obesity taken from you? How did it impact your life? On the flip side, write what bariatric surgery has given back to you.

Tag me in your video and use the hashtag #MyBariatricStory —I’ll be dedicating this month to amplifying your voices.

Together, let’s spread hope and encouragement. Thanks you for this amazing song🙏🏼
