hello,
I am Beth Sheldon-Badore aka “Melting Mama” in the bariatric/weight loss surgery community and blogging communities. I’m the founder of the Bariatric Bad Girls Club, a social support and advocacy group for bariatric patients.
it's for life...
For the past fifteen years I have been maintaining a loss of 172 pounds after undergoing bariatric surgery. I started writing about my journey through weight loss surgery and beyond as it became obvious that surgery is not a quick fix, and it really is for life.
