What’s Going On With My Gallbladder?!

In this deeply personal and emotionally charged episode, Alyssa shares her exhausting journey to get answers about her gallbladder—the pain, the dismissal, and the battle to be taken seriously in a system that too often overlooks patients living in larger bodies.

Listeners will follow her through a frustrating ER experience, the unwavering support of doctors who actually listened, and the emotional toll of fighting for care while managing diabetes, acute kidney injuries, and the looming loss of employer-provided insurance. With her signature blend of snark, soul, and compassion, Alyssa invites her audience into the raw reality of medical gaslighting and the moments of grace that made all the difference.

💛 Dedicated to Dr. Graham, Dr. Roe, and Dr. Lemon.
Thank you for seeing me. For believing me. For never treating me like less because of my size. Some days, that kind of care is everything.
