Dear Reader,

Silhouette is dedicated to the purpose of 'educating and motivating' the surgical weight loss patient. 

It is our continued desire and commitment to bring you reliable information to educate you and your family so you will be able to achieve any level of weight loss success that you desire.   As our Silhouette family grows you will notice some names and faces that may be new to our long-time readers.  Bariatric programs across the country are now making this valuable resource available to their programs as well.  As we invite other authors to participate, you will benefit from their unique perspective, experience and insight.  Therefore, we would like to extend a warm welcome to our new readers and Bariatric programs that may be joining us for the first time. 

We are also committed to evaluating other resources that might be beneficial to your success.  So, feel free to evaluate the featured products or services found in each issue.  Simply click on the link to be directed to more information regarding these products or services.

We are also interested in what you, the Bariatric patient, would like to offer as insight or encouragement to others.  Maybe you have a story or words of wisdom that you would like to share.  Please feel free to submit your thoughts or story (250 words or less) to newsletter@barimd.com along with a before and after photo that we might use.*

  * NOTICE: The Silhouette editorial staff reserves the right to edit and publish your story without prior notification.  Submitting your pictures and story does not guarantee placement and indicates that you have given us your permission to use it in a future issue of Silhouette.
