Retooling your weight management requires more than just an operation. Our exclusive Bariatric Success Program supports our weight loss surgery warriors with comprehensive tools and services to help people achieve safe, rapid and sustained weight loss. We’re proud to add a first-of-its-kind new asset for patients, our new Bariatric Ambassador Mentors.
Prime Surgicare’s Ambassadors are patient volunteers who previously navigated their own surgical weight loss journey. They worked hard and remained committed to achieving (and maintaining) their weight loss. Now, this group of specially-selected volunteers will serve as one-on-one mentors for bariatric newcomers at any stage of the surgical weight loss experience:
- Still deciding
- Pre-op
- Post-op
- Maintaining weight loss
While Prime Surgicare Ambassadors are not healthcare professionals (and cannot offer medical guidance), they offer a wealth of expertise–firsthand experience.
If you feel a bariatric mentor may be helpful to you, read on—
