We have a large staff here about 25 different employees who work with the bariatric patients in different stages of their journey through the process. Collectively some of our employees have been here for 15 plus years. Because we have worked with bariatric patients for so long, so many of us, we are very tuned into the special needs of the patient population. The patients can expect to find people here that are very compassionate and caring, that are very knowledgeable about the special needs of the bariatric population. We are the biggest cheerleaders. One of my favorite events that we do every year is the patient reunion and we get to see all our patients in a party type setting, everybody is all dressed up and they all look their best, and everyone is so proud of the weight they have lost. We keep a journal going of how many pounds have lost and we announce that at the end of the party and it’s sometimes 5000 to 6000 pounds.
