If you can make ONE mindset shift about bariatric surgery, make it this one:
Bariatric surgery isn’t a diet. It’s not temporary. It’s a permanent change in your lifestyle.

Vicky lost 146 pounds with Dr. Huguet at MIIS Weight Loss Institute, and a huge part of her success was the mindset she brought into the procedure and carries forward every day.

If you’re ready to see and feel the real impact of bariatric surgery, we’re now accepting new patients! We can’t wait to support your journey. ✨

Success is never an accident.

After bariatric surgery, your habits, mindset, and daily choices make all the difference. It’s a major lifestyle modification, not a fad diet. Vicky has lost an incredible 146 pounds after her procedure, and she has the recipe for success. You, too, can feel as unstoppable as she does.

💉 Many people don’t realize GLP-1 meds have side effects until they start taking them. If you’re wondering what’s normal (and not so normal), swipe through.

Most people do best with a slow, steady dose increase. It gives your body time to adjust so you feel better through the process. At MIIS, we walk you through all of this so you’re not guessing on your own. You get support with medication, nutrition, and a plan that actually matches your life.

We take a full-picture approach so your results aren’t random or short-term.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous about bariatric surgery. A lot of people are. The important part is asking questions and getting honest answers.

Dr. Huguet talks through these concerns with patients every day. His goal is to make sure you understand what to expect, what the process looks like, and what support you’ll have the entire time.

If fear is holding you back, MIIS Weight Loss Institute is a great place to start!

Gone are the days of restless nights and juggling medications for Vicky!
🤩 Today we’re sharing a bariatric journey that’s moved us all here at MIIS Weight Loss Institute. Vicky has lost 146 pounds, cutting her starting weight in HALF.

From the moment we stepped in the room and saw her eyes light up, we knew without a doubt that she had accomplished her goals and then some. She said bye to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and is off her CPAP machine. All because she stayed motivated, kept her goals top of mind, and the results… Well, see for yourself!

Another meaningful “why” from a patient starting their bariatric journey. This patient wants to ride a roller coaster again, something he hasn’t done since high school. Today marks the start of making that goal real. 🎢

“Will I be starving all the time after surgery?”
You’re not the only one asking that – it’s actually one of the most common fears.

The simple answer? Surgery changes the hormones that control hunger and cravings. So even though you’re eating less, you won’t feel stuck in constant hunger like before. This is why the surgery is so effective long term.
