In today's episode we are joined by Aditya @2t_to_no_t , who brings a truly unique perspective to the bariatric journey. Hailing from India and currently living in Melbourne, Aditya shares his powerful story of growing up in a culture where being chubby is seen as cute—until it leads to health complications and a pivotal crossroads.

From pre-surgery challenges like not fitting into a business class seat to the whirlwind experience of undergoing bariatric surgery in India, Aditya walks us through his rapid weight loss process, the cultural hurdles he faced, and the surprising realities of post-op life. Along the way, we discuss everything from the struggles with loose skin and diet obstacles to deeper topics like the intersection of tradition, family, and self-acceptance.

Get ready for an honest, eye-opening conversation about the realities of obesity in India, the evolving landscape of bariatric care, and what it really takes to prioritise your health when the world around you is moving in the opposite direction.
