We had the good fortune of connecting with Our Sleeved Life Podcast and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Our Sleeved Life Podcast, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
We started our podcast and social media to be a support system for others going through weight loss surgery process , and this means not just the patient but importantly the family and friends around that patient! We found that our success came from being open, honest and ourselves. There is a realness that people crave.

Our Sleeved Life Podcast is a family that is accepting anyone no matter who they are, where they come from or what journey they are going through. We truly just want to help others by giving them the most up to date information in their pockets.

Weight loss surgery is a serious decision to make and it will not be taken lightly. What we do know is that people can make a well informed decision by listening to two women who have gone through the process and are sharing other patients stories, as well as interviewing surgeons, nutritionists, therapists and many others.

This journey is messy and definitely has its ups and downs, and by highlighting the ups and more importantly the downs has also contributed to our success because it shows others that its ok to trip or even fall down but there is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about! You just need to get up, believe in yourself and keep moving forward!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Kellie and Mel are more than just a Podcast. They are a support system for their followers and that is what sets them apart from everyone else. We are proud that we are reaching those that need us and excited to meet more of our people.

This Podcast journey is not easy. We make sure we give the most up to date information so we interview our guest prior to shows and complete research before every episode. Our Producer left within our first year for Kellie and Mel had to learn how to fully produce their on podcast including audio, and video production, and they got through it and pressed on. Now they have over 100 episodes and has helped thousands of people.

OSLP is here to stay and will be here for anyone and everyone that needs help with their journey. They want their followers to be themselves and be happy to be who they are. Their Mantra is “every person is different, every journey is different, so JUST BE YOU!”

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Because we are bariatric patients we love to focus on NSV (non scale victories) things that we couldn’t do before or at least comfortably, such as a trampoline park, rage rooms, paint splatter rooms or just a hike through beautiful Oregon forestry. We love to check out restaurants that give us options for small plates of food and because we get cold very easily we love a local restaurant called Taproot because they have a hot tea menu!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We want to shoutout the Bariatric Community and our Surgeons, Dr. Erin Thompson and Dr Emma Patterson, for giving us our lives back! If it wasn’t for our doctors and the warm welcoming of this community filled with supporters, we don’t know where we would be! We want to thank them for being there for us and building us up everyday!
