Bari-Bestiez Chatz with Nina & Pam
Real Friends. Real Talk. Bariatric Journey
Welcome to Bari-Bestiez Chatz, the podcast where honesty lives and community comes first. Hosted by Nina & Pam, founders of the Bari-Bestiez community, we have real conversations about the weight loss surgery journey and the life that comes with it.
Each week, we dive into the highs, the lows, and everything in between — nutrition, mindset, movement, regain, relationships, self-worth, mental health, and learning to love yourself through every stage.
Whether you’re pre-op, post-op, years out, or simply searching for people who get it, you’ll find support, laughter, expert insight, powerful stories, and unfiltered truth right here.
💜 Pull up a seat, Bestiez — you’re home. Let’s chat.
