29. The G.O.A.T. of Bariatric Surgery Bill Streetman

In this episode of The Busy Bariatrics Podcast, I sit down with a man that EVERYONE should know, but probably don’t (and that’s a damn shame): Bill Streetman. He’s the G.O.A.T. of post-op success, the blueprint before blueprints were cool, and he’s been quietly crushing the bariatric game for over a decade while most folks are still trying to post reels of themselves dancing. We get into his full story, from surgery to sustaining long-term results that most people only dream about. We’re talking discipline, mindset mastery, staying on track while living out of a suitcase, and why responsibility isn’t toxic, it’s transformative.Bill’s not just walking the walk, he’s teaching it. His new book just dropped and it’s packed with real-world advice for anyone who wants to stop spinning their wheels and start making sustainable moves.Bill has been talking on national stages advocating for bariatric surgery before most of us knew what WLS stood for. If you’ve never heard of Bill Streetman, consider this your official wake-up call.Tune in. Take notes. This one’s pure gold. And Yes I'm biased cause the dude is my Hero.
