Success Stories
Joining Bariatric Health & Wellness was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I started the program after much research and with tremendous frustration over my previous attempts to lose weight. I have lost over 71 pounds in 18 weeks and am finding myself again in the mix.
The staff at Bariatric Health & Wellness have been an amazing support for me along the way. I cannot thank them enough. The program along with the support and encouragement cannot be beat. Maintenance is on the horizon and I know that the real work is just beginning. However, with the support of the staff at Bariatric Health & Wellness, I am confident in my ability to be successful! This is a statement I have NEVER been able to make! What a blessing this program has been!

In June of last year I decided enough; I want to lose weight now! I want to be the size 6 I was 19 years ago when I graduated high school (plus my 20 year high school reunion is coming up and I knew I wouldn't want to go if I didn't lose weight). I saw results from several people who went to Bariatric Health & Wellness and decided this is for me.
After my initial visit (and encouragement from my husband) I knew I could do this. The food is great (some items are so good you feel like this can't really be weight loss food) and very filling. I am one of the world's pickiest eaters and I was able to find plenty of things to eat. Now I have lost over 100 pounds, I look and feel great!!!! I still have a little way to go before I reach my size 6 but I'm getting there. I've lost an average of just over 3 pounds each week.
I can't say enough just how easy, affordable and WONDERFUL this program is. Also, their entire staff is fabulous. I'd have to say that not only does the program help you lose the weight but the staff's encouragement and the fact that you won't want to let them down helps you stick to the program. If you are thinking of starting a weight loss program you should consider Bariatric Health & Wellness... if it has been this easy for me anyone can do it!!!!

Wow, what a difference a year makes-actually only a few months. At the beginning of 2009, I was almost hopeless about my weight loss goals. But, I was determined to make a chang
e. I set out exercising and eating better, with a goal of running a 5K in February. I worked hard to stay on course with my goals, and was able to complete the 5K. Although I was able to complete the race, I was unimpressed with the weight loss I experienced during the preparation for it. Therefore, after the race my husband and I decided to give the Bariatric plan a try. With measured doubt, I began the supplements in mid-February. I could not have been more wrong. Though I have been very unsuccessful at staying on any "diet" for more than a week (usually much less), I found it easy to stick to this plan. I saw great results on the scale and in my clothing. My entire outlook on health and wellness has transformed, and I have become a healthy person. This was not something that could be said in 2008. I lost 40 pounds in 4 months. I have lost a total of 38 1/2 inches, including a loss of 7 1/2 inches around my stomach alone. My dress size has gone from 16/18 to 8/10. I never thought that these results would have been possible. I have also ran several 5Ks, a 10K, and a 1/2 Marathon. Even the way I look at food has been transformed--I am no longer controlled by it. None of this would have been possible had it not been for the great support and information I received from Dr. Morgan and his excellent staff. Words cannot express how deeply grateful I am to them for all of the support, guidance and better life I have received from the program. My entire family will be better because of their help, and for that I am truly thankful.

A year ago on December 3rd, I started a journey that changed my life. I lost 72 pounds in 6 months thanks to Bariatric Health and Wellness. I was scared I would fail, but once I had my consultation, I immediately felt comfortable and ready to begin the program. I have prayed consistently throughout this process for strength and courage and with the help of the incredible people at Bariatrics, I succeeded. I never wanted to tell anyone my goal out loud because I didn't feel it was attainable, but as I met and then exceeded it, I knew that joining Bariatrics was the best decision of my life. I never cheated once while on the program, but it wasn't always easy. I knew I had to make a "life change" and that was the hard part. I knew that I could never go back to my old eating habits. I feel like even though, there may be ups and downs, I will never go back to the person I was before I started the program and that is thanks to the wonderful, encouraging, supportive staff at Bariatric Health & Wellness!

In June of 2008, we took family portraits, when those came back, I could not believe how I looked in those pictures. It disgusted me. After two kids, I wanted to do something about it, instead of putting it off before it was too late. I weighed 172, which was the most I'd ever weighed in my life. That's when I made the call on the following Monday and decided to start Bariatrics. I went for my consultation that day and orientation that same week. I began my diet that following Monday. It was hard at first, but once I went for my first weigh in and I had lost ten pounds within that week, it made me feel great and motivated me even more. The diet was easy and each day I was feeling better. I lost a total of 50 pounds in just a little over three months by eating my five supplements, drinking water, taking vitamins and walking. Coming in the office each week for my weigh in and talking with the Bariatrics staff made me more accountable and gave me a higher level of self-esteem. It was a great feeling when people began to notice how much I'd lost. I started feeling good about myself again. Bariatrics is an easy diet that anyone can follow! I have now been on maintenance since October and have maintained my goal weight. It changed the way I eat and the choices I make about food. I have not have caffeine in almost a year! It totally changed my life! Thanks to the wonderful staff and Dr. Morgan for changing my life. They are to be applauded.

"Well, where do I start?? I went to Bariatric Health and Wellness overweight, tired and basically a couch potato. During the physical they found a problem with my triglyceride level that could have been serious (seems all the years of red meat had caught up with me). They informed me of the problem and we went to work on lowering it with the diet. WOW….diet? There were several times I didn't feel like I was on a diet at all! The food is great and will fill you up. I was worried because I work shift work and am on the floor a lot during the day. This diet was great for that…I had plenty to eat and was able to stay on a schedule. At the initial weigh-in I was at 253 pounds and in a size 42 pants. After 10 weeks I was down to 206 pounds and was in a size 36. At that point I went off the structured diet and started with the maintenance phase. This has proven successful as well because I lost down to 193 and can wear a size 34 pant. I have presently been back and forth a couple of pounds but have found it very easy to keep the weight off. I have friends who haven't seen me in a while that don't even recognize me. I can't tell you how many people at work who have started this diet, thanks to my success, and are doing equally as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful!! They make it a pleasure to come to weigh every week. If there is one complaint I have had with the diet, it would be thanks to the weight loss I have become more active and have less time to go back for my FREE weigh-ins! This is bad because I miss seeing them!! So to sum things up…great diet, great food, and great staff ! Don't hesitate if you are serious about losing weight - this diet is for YOU!!"

"I just wanted to say thank you to Bariatric Health & Wellness. I have lost 36 pounds in 10 weeks! This is the first time I have been able to lose weight and the diet is very easy to do. The food is great and I'm never hungry. Everyone in the office is wonderful and very encouraging!"
Thanks again, T.B.

If you've tried other diets without success, this plan is definitely for you. Thanks Bariatric Health & Wellness for your guidance, motivation, and your friendship!!"

After receiving a kidney transplant from my dad almost eight years ago, I gained about 75 pounds from taking Prednisone and other anti-rejection drugs. I tried to get the weight off by seeing two nutritionists and exercising with a personal trainer, but I did not lose any weight because I have a very slow metabolism. When I heard about the Bariatric Health and Wellness diet from a friend, I said to my self I will give this diet a try since it has been so difficult for me to lose weight in the past. Since I started the diet in February, I have lost 35 pounds, and I am still working on reaching my weight loss goal. The diet has been easy and successful for me. The food is delicious and fills you up so that you are not craving the kinds of foods that are bad for you. My doctors, my family, and my friends have been so supportive of me! I feel better than I have in years, and the fact that I'm losing weight in a healthy way makes me feel good too. I love coming in each week to weigh-in because the people there are so friendly and I know the scale has gone down a couple more pounds! Many thanks to my friends at Bariatric Health & Wellness!

Thanks to Bariatric Health & Wellness, I feel great and have lost 50 pounds in less than 3 months! I'm a college student with a very active lifestyle. I needed a diet that was fast and convenient, and since I'm in school, I needed something that was affordable too. The staff at Bariatrics was so encouraging and knowledgeable. I was concerned about regaining the weight I lost after it seemed to fall off so quickly and effortlessly, but the maintenance program has been great and I haven't gained a single pound back. I should have done this program a long time. Thanks to all the folks at Bariatric Health & Wellness for your help and support along the way!
