Built exclusively for bariatric and weight loss surgeons

The patient acquisition system
that fills your bariatric surgical calendar.

We put your practice in front of patients who actually qualify for surgery, screen them on BMI, comorbidities, and a real payment path, and walk them through the long bariatric decision so they show up and convert. Sleeves, bypasses, and high value revisions. Not seminar no shows, not 20 pound quick fix seekers, not Tijuana price shoppers.

If this sounds familiar…

You're an excellent bariatric surgeon. You're stuck with a marketing system that fills seminars with people who never qualify, never finance, and never show.

We've talked to enough weight loss surgeons to see the same pattern. Here's what most bariatric practices look like before they have a real patient acquisition system, and what changes once they do.

Before

  • Your free seminar has 40 registrations and 9 people walk in, and most of those are barely over a 30 BMI looking for a shortcut they don't qualify for.
  • Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound quietly pulled your surgical pipeline down, and nobody on your team knows how to win those patients back.
  • Your coordinator spends half her week explaining insurance criteria to people who will never get approved and can't self pay either.
  • Patients ghost halfway through the six month medically supervised diet, and you have no system keeping them warm through the wait.
  • The patient you spent weeks educating flies to Tijuana for a $4,500 sleeve and you never hear from them again.
  • Meta keeps flagging your ads over weight and health claims, and your account has been restricted twice.
  • You're paying a generalist agency that treats your gastric bypass the same as a dentist's teeth cleaning.
  • Revision cases, your highest value surgeries, trickle in by referral instead of arriving predictably.

After our system

  • Seminars and consults filled with pre screened candidates: right BMI range, real comorbidities, and a confirmed self pay or insurance path.
  • A dedicated message track that converts GLP 1 plateau and post medication patients into surgical consults.
  • Financing positioned early so self pay sleeves and revisions become realistic instead of sticker shock.
  • Automated nurture that holds patients through insurance steps and the supervised diet so they reach the OR, not the exit.
  • Positioning on safety, aftercare, and board certification that wins patients away from medical tourism without competing on price.
  • Ad creative and copy structured to pass policy review on weight and health categories, so your account stays live.
  • A team that only does healthcare and understands the bariatric decision cycle, payers, and revision economics.
  • Revision and conversion cases flowing in predictably, not just whenever a referral happens to land.

How it works

A qualified surgical pipeline, not generic "lead gen".

Most agencies chase form fills and seminar signups that never convert. We built a system that does one thing for bariatric surgeons: deliver pre screened patients who qualify, can pay, and show up for surgery.

01

Qualified intent capture

We reach patients researching gastric sleeve, bypass, revision, and "weight loss surgery near me", plus the growing wave who tried GLP 1 medications and plateaued. Real surgical intent, not curiosity clicks.

02

BMI and payment screening

A funnel built around the bariatric decision: BMI range, comorbidities, self pay financing, and insurance benefit checks. It filters unqualified and unfundable patients before they reach your coordinator's calendar.

03

Long cycle nurture

Bariatric is a months long decision. Automated education and reminders keep patients engaged through seminars, insurance steps, and the supervised diet, so they reach the OR instead of dropping off.

04

Booked surgeries, not signups

The only KPI that matters: qualified consults that convert into scheduled procedures. Everything we run ladders up to OR utilization with the case mix and payers you actually want.

Why this is different

We made it stupid easy to start.

No lock ins. No smoke. No fine print. If it doesn't work, you leave.

✕

No long term contracts

Month to month. You stay because qualified surgical cases are filling your OR, not because a contract says you have to.

✕

No setup fees

We don't charge you to start. Your investment goes where it belongs, into attracting patients who qualify and convert.

✕

No seminar tire kickers

We won't fill your room with people 20 pounds over budget shopping a $4k sleeve. Our funnel screens BMI and payment path at the entry, before they ever reach your team.

✓

One focus only

Qualified consults that convert into surgery. Impressions, seminar registrations, and vanity metrics are noise. We report on what fills your OR.

✓

Policy aware creative

Weight and health is one of the most restricted ad categories. We know what gets disapproved and how to structure your account so a single rejection doesn't shut you down.

✓

Live in under 14 days

From signed to first bariatric campaign in under 14 days. No 6 week "discovery phases". You'll see qualified consults building within the first 30 days.

The healthcare patient acquisition track record

The system that works for bariatric surgeons is the same system filling calendars across high ticket healthcare.

An honest note

You won't find a bariatric surgeon video on this page. Yet.

We haven't built one, because we're actively onboarding our first bariatric practices right now. What we do have is a proven patient acquisition system already filling calendars in medical weight loss, TRT, aesthetic medicine, sleep medicine, and surgical specialties, verticals that share the same DNA as bariatric surgery: high ticket, long decision cycle, payment sensitive, and heavily ad policy restricted.

The reason the system works isn't because we have done a thousand sleeves, it's because we know qualified patient acquisition. Search intent, conversion psychology, healthcare ad compliance, BMI and payment pre screening, long cycle nurture, these translate directly to your OR. We're applying them to bariatric with founders' attention, not delegated to a junior account manager.

If you want to be one of our first bariatric case studies, with direct access to the founders, custom built strategy, and a system tuned specifically for weight loss surgery, mention "first bariatric case study" when you book the call.

Who this is for

This works if you…

  • ✓
    Are a bariatric or metabolic surgeon running your own practice, surgical group, or weight loss surgery center.
  • ✓
    Want more qualified surgical cases, sleeves, bypasses, and high value revisions, not just seminar registrations.
  • ✓
    Are tired of no shows and unqualified leads wasting your coordinator's time on patients who don't qualify or can't pay.
  • ✓
    Want to win back GLP 1 patients who plateaued or could not stay on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound.
  • ✓
    Offer self pay financing, insurance bariatric benefits, or both, and want a system tuned to your payer mix.
  • ✓
    Are losing patients to medical tourism and want to compete on safety and aftercare instead of price.
  • ✓
    Have OR capacity for additional cases each month and want to fill it predictably.
  • ✓
    Are ready to invest in growth ($2k+/mo ad spend, ideally $4-8k for meaningful surgical volume).
Who this isn't for

Don't book a call if you…

  • ✕
    Only offer medical weight loss with no surgical option (we have a separate medical weight loss system for that).
  • ✕
    Want to compete purely on price against overseas surgery (we don't run race to the bottom campaigns).
  • ✕
    Expect guaranteed surgical numbers (nobody serious in this niche will promise that).
  • ✕
    Can't commit at least $2,000/month to ad spend.
  • ✕
    Have no coordinator or staff to follow up on a longer bariatric decision cycle.
  • ✕
    Aren't in healthcare. We really mean it, healthcare only.
  • ✕
    Want to micromanage every ad. Trust us to run the system.
