Alice
“The New Mexico Bariatric Institute transformed my mind, my body and my life.”
Mom & Daughter Yolanda & Genevieve
“Since my surgery, I haven’t taken Tylenol, I got off about 50 medications, no more oxygen, no more CPAP machine, and I just feel like I gave myself some years to live.”
Medical Weight Loss
You may be ready to begin your weight loss journey but aren't yet ready to make a surgical step. Or, you may need a medically supervised weight loss program as part of the bariatric surgical counseling process. If so, we are happy to direct you to our non-surgical weight loss specialists or work with your regular PCP to identify a plan that most impacts your overall health.
