What happens when two people take the same step—but walk very different paths?
In this episode, we sit down with Mindy and Chase, a couple who had bariatric surgery together on Valentine’s Day. What started as a shared solution became two separate journeys of healing, struggle, and growth. From emotional eating and mental health challenges to mismatched recoveries and unspoken fears, they open up about how weight loss surgery reshaped their relationship—and what it taught them about love, support, and letting go of control.
If you're in a relationship or considering bariatric surgery, this real, raw conversation is one you don’t want to miss.
