Helping bariatric patients find a balance between life, food, and fitness!
Who Needs Busy Bariatrics?
Being a bariatric patient is only one piece of the pie that makes up our lives. We have careers, families, friends, financial, and faith commitments, just to name a few.
Life can become overwhelming as we try to juggle all of life’s priorities along with the new lifelong lifestyle change we’ve committed ourselves to as bariatric patients.
Busy Bariatrics helps with the mindset shift needed to find that balance we are hungry for.
I create a customized plan with each client to help them reach their goals after bariatric surgery, no matter what stage they are in along their weight loss journey.
Maybe they are:
Newly post-op and toiling with where to begin?
Reaching your goal weight and wondering how to maintain your loss?
Experiencing regain and in need of a fresh perspective and guidance?
Working towards a better relationship with food and fitness after years of unhealthy habits.
Struggling with eating healthy in their already chaotic lifestyle.
Scared to start a fitness routine or don’t know how to build one.
Wherever you are on your journey, you are not alone.

"I treasure any work I get to do with Rob because to me, he is the definition of 'talking the talk and walking the walk.' Rob's actions match his words."
He puts for the magic ingredient - EFFORT - to live his post-op goals of being healthier and having an amazing quality of life! I mean, look at this guy - he is LIVING an incredible post-op life. The thing that drew me to Rob is the love he has for his family and how so much of what he is doing is to live life to the fullest with the people he loves most. AND he is encouraging so many others to do the same! Did I mention that Rob is a whole lotta fun, too?! - Connie Stapleton, Ph. D.

About Rob
Rob DiMedio is a lifelong scholar and educator, but his most significant life lesson came in the summer of 2019. He was told he had a better chance of dying in his sleep than making it to his 40th birthday.
Having spent a good portion of his adult life forging solid bonds with food, alcohol, and credit cards, he knew he had to be committed to change. He needed to be here for those he loves most, his wife and children.
Since that summer, Rob has remained committed to food tracking, financial tracking, and fitness tracking, all of which he credits to his success in his VSG journey.
Outside of food and movement tracking, which is clearly a favorite activity of his, Rob learned early in his journey that sharing his goals was a form of accountability. He has surpassed goals that include walking 15,000 steps every day for over a year and completing a 75-mile bike ride!
He has physically lost over 150 pounds but believes his emotional weight loss is even more impressive. He continues to heal and grow in all his relationships, especially as a husband and father.
In 2022 Rob became the first winner of The Just Be Your Bariatric Awards “Best Male Fitness” and “Best Male Social Media Account.”
Since then, he has become a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach so he can support others in the Bariatric Community to find a maintainable relationship with food and fitness.
