Things Nobody Tells You About Losing 240 Pounds
Episode 58
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Some people have one wake-up call. Rodney had three.
Dr. Gardner sits down with Rodney, his patient who lost 240 pounds on his own before coming to Eastern Shore Cosmetic Surgery to have his excess skin removed.
Rodney talks about growing up heavy, the three near-death experiences that changed everything, and why sustainable results come from building habits you actually enjoy, not chasing a fast fix.
He's honest about the body dysmorphia that follows major weight loss and what it felt like to finally see himself without the extra skin. Hear his advice to anyone still at the beginning of their weight loss journey.
