Weight Loss Surgery 101: What You Need to Know

If you’ve ever wondered whether weight loss surgery might be an option—or what life looks like afterward—this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dr. Shani Belgrave, board-certified bariatric surgeon and founder of Oneka Bariatrics & Wellness in Atlanta. Known for her compassionate, whole-person approach, Dr. Belgrave believes that bariatric surgery isn’t just about losing weight—it’s about becoming your ultimate you.

We talk about:

• What led her to create a boutique bariatric and wellness practice

• The biggest myths about weight loss surgery

• How her team supports patients long after surgery

• The mindset shifts that help people succeed on their health journey

• When it might be time to consider bariatric surgery—and what that first step really looks like

Dr. Belgrave also shares her philosophy that transformation is more than physical—it’s about rebuilding confidence, energy, and purpose.
