Beyond Bariatric Surgery: Success, Maintenance, and Support with Busy Bariatrics

Welcome back to The Weight Loss Collab! In this episode, hosts Dr. Betsy Dovec and Hannah Schuyler are joined by special guest Rob Dimedio, CEO and founder of Busy Bariatrics—and a bariatric patient himself. Together, they take a deep dive into Rob's powerful origin story: from battling severe sleep apnea and the wake-up call that pushed him toward life-changing bariatric surgery, to building a business that now supports others on their weight loss journeys. The conversation explores the real challenges of long-term weight management after surgery, the pitfalls of “quick-fix” weight loss solutions, the current role of GLP1 medications, and the importance of long-term lifestyle change and ongoing support.

Plus, get a sneak peek into the upcoming Body by Transformation retreat in Orlando! You'll hear about the unique experiences, expert panels—including Rob Dimedio on the CEO panel—and practical workshops that promise to empower and educate every attendee. Whether you’re a patient, provider, or just curious about the bariatric world, this episode is packed with honest insight, practical advice, and inspiration for anyone ready to take charge of their health.
