Baritastic App Update

We wanted to share a quick update with our patients regarding the Baritastic app. Earlier this week, some users experienced a temporary issue where their data appeared to disappear. Fortunately, it appears this was just a temporary app glitch and the data does not seem to have been lost.
If your information still looks incorrect, we recommend logging out of the app and logging back in, or updating the app to the most recent version.
If you continue to experience any issues, please feel free to reach out to the Center for Weight Loss and we would be happy to help.
Thank you for your patience, and we hope everything is running smoothly again!

What is a weight loss evaluation, and how can it help you figure out what might actually work for you?

Choosing between medical weight loss, surgery, or non-surgical options can feel overwhelming. Most people are not sure where to start, and they should not be expected to decide on their own.

That is why the Emerson Health Center for Weight Loss begins with a comprehensive weight loss evaluation. This visit is designed to help you understand your options and make informed decisions based on your health, not guesswork.

A weight loss evaluation includes:
✔️ A one-on-one visit with a weight loss physician
✔️ A health review, including labs and body composition when appropriate
✔️ An open conversation about your history, preferences, and goals
✔️ A clear explanation of what different options may realistically look like for you

If this sounds like the kind of support you have been looking for, learning more about a weight loss evaluation may be a helpful next step.
