One Place to Help You Achieve Your Goals
Bariatric surgery, and the lifestyle changes required to achieve your desired outcome, requires a serious commitment on your part. But your commitment also comes with a promise from the Bariatric and Metabolic Interdisciplinary Clinic (BMI Clinic) to do everything we can to help you succeed.
Learning to Lose
Our comprehensive approach focuses significantly on education. We want to make sure you have all the tools and information you and you’re family need to face the challenge ahead – not just physically, but psychologically as well. It’s critical to be certain you’re ready mentally as well as physically. And we encourage your family to participate in the entire process. After all, they will be your strongest and closest support group.
Multiple Disciplines, One Location
With 40 years of collective experience and a history of successful outcomes with few, if any complications, we’ve developed a multi-disciplinary approach to weight loss programs that considers every aspect of your health.
Your team not only will include Stanford surgeons like John Morton, MD, and James Lau, MD, but it includes specialists in other disciplines critical to achieving a successful outcome:
- Nutritionist
- Psychologist
- Cardiologist
- Education and Support Groups
This team approach places you squarely at the center of attention. In fact, you’re part of this team – and its most important member.
