BariatricPal

I've always been involved in technology and have developed a passion for working in health and social networking. Over the past several years, I have come to realize that my calling is in the fusion of health and technology. I am the founder of BariatricPal and an advocate for the weight loss surgery community.

BariatricPal is the world’s largest weight loss surgery forum, with hundreds of thousands of members. The site and mobile apps support patient success as they choose surgeons, prepare for and recover from surgery, and lose weight after surgery. 

As the founder of BariatricPal and author of four books on weight loss surgery, I have the unique ability to reach preoperative and postoperative patients, surgeons, allied healthcare professionals and weight loss surgery marketers. 

My experience in technology includes starting one of the nation’s first domain registrars and launching the first web hosting companies to offer virtual private servers. In the health industry, I have been a consultant for multiple leading bariatrics companies.

I want to connect with surgeons, integrated health professionals and anyone else who is interested in touching more lives.
