Hello everyone,
I work with Bariatric Food Source in the office, and some of the ladies I work with thought it would be really cool to try to put together some videos of bariatric patients sharing their experiences.
We've heard many of you share your experiences and struggles, as well as your triumphs, related to bariatric surgery. We think these stories are valuable and should be heard by more people. That's why we're asking if you would be interested in making a short video about your journey with bariatric surgery.
Why Make a Video?
What to Include
Video Content & Length
You can record any length you want, and talk about any aspect of your bariatric journey. I'm thinking something between 2-10 minutes, but any length could work. The videos will end up on a new youtube channel that we hope to share somewhere on this site or on BariatricFoodSource.com
I can't make any promises yet, but I think I'll be able to get some $50 gift cards for anybody that submits a video that we use.
We hope you consider making a short video if you would be comfortable sharing your story or just some experiences you've had. Your experience could be very helpful to someone else going through something similar.
Thank you,
Kristen and the BFS Team
PS: I'm still not exactly sure what the best way to send the videos in to us, so I'll have to get back to you on that if we do have any interest.

Why Make a Video?
