Today, our community story is Susan’s. She struggled with obesity, and despite a very successful bariatric surgery, she eventually regained her weight and developed type 2 diabetes. Susan bravely shared her Mounjaro journey with us. We discuss the chronic disease of obesity with Dr. Angelina, an expert in bariatric surgery, weight management, and cosmetic surgery. We revisit the connection between GLP1 and bariatric surgery. Dr. Angelina addresses common challenges post-surgery, including "food noise," weight regain factors, and transfer addiction prevention. We explore how weight can return after bariatric surgery, discuss "apron bellies," and debate the timing of skin removal surgery.
Dr. Angelina's Bio
Dr. Angelina Postoev is the founder of Surgicare Arts & Aesthetics and the co-founder and the CEO of IBI Healthcare Institute. Dr. Angelina is triple board-certified by the American College of Surgery and the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.

Dr. Postoev received her undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and then attended medical school at Ross University, where she ranked in the top five percent of her class. She completed her residency at the world-famous Cleveland Clinic Foundation, the No. 2 ranked hospital in the United States. Dr. Angelina specializes in abdominoplasty, breast augmentation and reduction, mastopexy, liposuction, buttock enhancement with fat transfer, face and neck lift, blepharoplasty, etc. She is a member of many local and national scientific societies, including the American Society of Cosmetic Surgeons.
