Today we are joined by Brittney @improvingbrittany who opens up about her deeply personal journey through bariatric surgery, cancer survival, and reclaiming ownership of her body and mind. Brittany dives into her background, sharing how persistent weight struggles, a life-changing cancer diagnosis, and battles with fertility led her to finally pursue weight loss surgery and, ultimately, a healthier, more empowered version of herself.

We chat about the nuances of surgical choices, myths surrounding procedures like the lap band, and the emotional rollercoaster of navigating regain and self-acceptance. As well as breaking down what it's really like in the early days post-surgery, dealing with protein shakes, cravings, and those unexpected small victories.
