Today's guest is someone who we chatted to 14 months ago. He was (then) 2 years post op, lost a lot of his weight and prepping for his first heavy man comp. He was in a pretty dark place and coming to terms with the mental battles that come with WLS.

Today, 14 months on–he is a new person–both physically and mentally. Join us as we catch up with Nick ( @nick_1987_ ) and hear all about his triumphs, failures and lessons learnt.
