Mission
Our mission is to partner with the nation’s leading physicians to democratize access to state-of-the-art weight loss procedures and medications, grounded in rigorous research.
In 2012, Dr. Christopher Thompson, our scientific advisor and co-founder, pioneered the ESG Stomach Tightening procedure at Harvard Medical School. This same-day, non-surgical solution offers an average weight loss of 18%, and lasts for a minimum of 5 years. After a decade of rigorous research and tens of thousands of successful procedures, the FDA officially authorized ESG as an effective weight loss intervention in 2022.
However, by the outset of 2023, Dr. Thompson recognized a concerning trend: a lack of standardization in the ESG procedure. Some clinics were using fewer sutures than ideal, while others did not prioritize essential patient follow-ups. Determined to uphold the highest quality standards and unlock the full potential of the ESG Stomach Tightening procedure, Dr. Thompson co-founded Bariendo.
Bariendo is committed to setting the national gold standard for ESG. We collaborate only with top-tier doctors who adhere to best practices. Our platform simplifies the process for patients by providing easy access to this transformative procedure, offering financing options, tracking weight loss progression alongside our patients and ensuring regular and consistent follow-ups. With Bariendo, your weight loss journey is in the best hands.
