The Door Handle Question: “Just One More Thing, Doc…”
Despre acest podcast
A weight loss surgery podcast with zero fluff and maximum truth.
The Bari Chronicles brings you unfiltered conversations about WLS, obesity, GLP-1 medications, mental health, addiction, relationships, and everything the clinic doesn’t always have time to explain.
Hosted by Damo and Tash, two siblings navigating life, loss, and long-term WLS living — each episode dives deep into the realities that shape this journey. Expect expert interviews, lived-experience storytelling, myth-busting moments, and the kind of honesty you only get from people who have been there.
