We know how daunting weight recurrence can feel after bariatric surgery, and that’s why we’re thrilled to bring you this powerful episode of the BariNation podcast.
Joining us again is Dr. Saniea F. Majid, a dedicated bariatric surgeon and obesity medicine specialist,to discuss weight gain as part of the chronic disease of obesity.
Her research-driven insights and compassionate approach to patient empowerment will leave you inspired, equipped with tools to navigate your weight loss journey, and ready to advocate for your metabolic wellness with confidence. Weight recurrence isn’t your fault.
Why You Should Watch or Listen:
Regain is not an "if" issue, it is a "when".
Research is showing that up to 90% of patients experience some kind of regain, and we need to be anticipating it, not fearing it.
This week's podcast helps us understand this mindset shift and offers solutions to addressing it when we experience it.
Questions Answered in This Episode:
- What is regain? How is it defined?
- Are there universal standards for diagnosing regain?
- What solutions are out there for patients?
- How can I find a provider who partners with me to treat regain, not blame or shame me?
🎧 Tune in now and discover how you can help stomp out stigma.

❤️ Why Your Support Matters
The BariNation Podcast is more than a show, it is your connection to vetted experts, reliable education, and moments of understanding and empathy from patients who are fighting this disease right alongside you.
Just as you have come to depend on the podcast to be there for you, we depend on YOU to help us support it.
➡️ If the BariNation Podcast has positively impacted your bariatric journey this year, donate to keep it going.
Think about it this way: if you have enjoyed 25 episodes so far this year, donate a dollar for every episode! And if you think that a gift like that does not make a difference, let us change your mind on that.
If everyone who listened to the podcast each week gave a dollar, we could produce a 60 minute show every week, host free webinars with our expert guests, and offer scholarships to patients who need the support of the BariNation Community but cannot afford it.
❤️ Every dollar positively impacts the BariNation organization.
Become someone who supports the show, not just someone who listens.
