No BS success - grateful for the support and accountability

Dr Merriman has assembled a powerhouse of no bs support and care for bariatric patients. Kat keeps me mindful of my band and Lisa keeps me mindful of my plate and all the ways we try to sneak around healthy habits and choices for a successful lap band weight loss experience. I need these people on my team for support and accountability. We’ve all been lied to by the diet and food industry and we’ve all been lying to ourselves for years about our addictions and challenges. I am grateful for the support, encouragement, and - let’s face it - the occasional butt-kicking I get (and need) from a skilled team who genuinely cares about my health, my weight, and my relationship to food. Combined with a healthy dose of therapeutic work to tackle the mind-side of food addiction and feelings-feeding, working together with these amazing clinicians has me hopeful and prepared for successful weight management. I’m smitten!

Dr. Merriman and His Team Are the BEST!!

Dr. Merriman is amazing! He not only has great bedside manner, but Dr. Merriman is also thorough and cautious in treatment. The aftercare support is the best part of his practice. Weight-loss surgery is not a solution but rather a tool, and Dr. Merriman places great focus on patient aftercare, on-going nutritional education, and any other post surgery support needed. Highly recommend!!

Initial consult - what I appreciated most was his complete honesty

Dr. Merriman’s educational class was awesome because he explained the history of bariatric surgery to how things are presently. He gave excellent analogies helping to clarify things in layman’s terms. What I appreciated most was his complete honesty in setting the proper expectations and my part to play in my own success.I have to “do the work.” Something I’ve been hearing lately in every aspect of my life. The good thing is, Dr. Merriman is providing the knowledge and tools to do so,“IF” I follow the instructions, I will be successful this time. Updated on 16 Jun 2021: I have had a great experience with the dr and staff. From pre opto post op. Lisa is amazing and helpful with diet. I do not think I would have had the amazing experience with any other practice. Dr Merriman explained everything in great detail.

Very professional, great sense of humor! Timely, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend! I have been wanting weight loss surgery for years but really wanted to do my research first, I’m really glad I found Dr. Merriman. I’m much more comfortable with proceeding with the procedure now.
