Bariatric Medical Institute of Texas Bariatric Center

He really want to help me succeed on my Revision. Excellent & friendly!

It was great having Dr. Seger as my surgeon. He always answered all our questions and had a super bedside manner. Because of Dr, Seger this surgery was a breeze. His skill and knowledge I believe was the main reason I had such a successful procedure.

Dr. Seger staff are top notch always smiling making you comfortable through the whole the process. They were always making you feel you making the best choice in having the surgery. After the surgery was complete they were always there answering any questions and helping with your diet.

I would highly recommend BMI of Texas if you thinking of changing your life forever.

Dr Duperier performed my RNY Gastric Bypass surgery on 03/16/2011 and would not hesitate to recommend him, so much to the point that my wife underwent the same surgery just last week (08/17/2011), which was also performed by Dr Duperier.

He is very direct, but friendly too and some people might not like the fact he's not all warm and fuzzy, but what do you want.... a warm fuzzy feeling or a damn good surgeon to whom you can entrust your life?

Dr. Seger and his practice at BMI are fantastic. From the first time that I met him at the seminar, his bedside manner has been wonderful. His willingness to just sit and discuss and not make you feel like a random number, has carried on through my whole surgery experience. I would recommend him to everyone!

I absolutely adore Dr. Seger and Dr. Duperier and the team at BMI. They treat you like family and put any concerns at ease. Dr. Seger is genuine and answers all your concerns. My surgery went smoothly and my recovery is off to a great start.

Dr. Duperier has gone above and beyond since the very beginning..!!! He is a very personable, honest and sincerly compassionate surgeon along with everyone else at Bmi of texas. I had my surgery on 3/15/10 and I cannot say enough about Dr. D. I have lost 114lbs and he was definately my miracle.

I've been working with him for several years as I've drug my feet about getting surgery. I love that he tells it like it is and is honest about every aspect of the surgery.

Finding words to describe Dr. Duperier are not easy for me. Our first meeting was at a Saturday seminar and he was energetic and positive. I found the presentation utterly fascinating! I had a few questions and he stayed to patiently answer them. The next meeting was at his office and surprisingly, it was only a few days after the seminar. He asked me what surgery I was interested in a conducted a detailed interview. He left no stone unturned. The summary of our conversation was that I would be a great candidate for surgery and he explained the next steps I would need to take. His office staff is friendly and fast, they are respectful of my time. I was convinced that Dr. Duperier was "rooting for me" and that he could be the one and only surgeon that was to change my life! I was on my way! I did everything he said and I put my trust completely in his talented hands.
My life was going to be so good and then It came time to schedule the surgery. I had done countless tests and 6 months of a diet, only to put the surgery "off." I had 4 deaths in my family that followed and I was not in a "good place." I went to therapy to find out what was going on inside and then came back. It had been 2 years!
I was worried that I had to start over! I was relived when Dr. Duperier said, "No, but you have gained 6 pounds since our last visit." His name is Frank and he is that! I understood and began again.
My surgery took place in July of 2009. I wanted to sleep late and he had me scheduled for the afternoon. I appreciate his courtesy. I was so happy to see him on the day of my surgery and he was ready to start, so was I.
He asked me If I wanted to spend the night in the hospital to recover and I declined the offer as I have a Tempurpedic bed at home. He did a fantastic job on my incisions! They have healed beautifully. I have had only phenomenal success from his talented, gifted work. He has a kind nature and he is a man of character and the highest of ethics. If ever I have needed anything, he and his staff have catered to me. I honestly believe that I am a dynamic woman and I am ever so grateful to have met him.
If you are in need of a second chance he is your man. I am now a "phoenix arising from the ashes" to take flight in this world. I now soar high above with eagles because of Dr. Terive Duperier.........

I can start with WOW!!!! What a personable surgeon both him & his partner Dr. Seger who impressed my mother in law which lead me to his practice. "BMI of Texas" I had jumped through the hoops of 6 months of a monitored diet, stress test, ultrasound of heart, ultrasound of abdomen (liver, gallbaldder & everything else) sleep study, pap smear, mamogram, and had a date for surgery when my insurance requested I have surgery at a different hospital. I went to my pre-op appointment and was devistated as she voiced her opinion about me having surgery at this other hospital. It was not professional & she should've kept her comments to herself. I was lectured about turning in my cpap machine when I tried for 3 months & couldn't sleep with it at all. I have a 6 year old which requires sleep in order to get him off to school in the morning, then I also got a lecture about gaining 8 lbs when she asked me to lose 5 lbs. If she would've read my dieticians notes she would've seen that I lost 6 lbs through September and gained some back from quitting smoking. There is my nightmare story. I called & canceled my surgery with my first surgeon & called BMI of Texas, talked briefly with a patient care advocate to find out if I had insurance approval was is possible just to change surgeons? I was called back by the patient care advocate within an hour to say "YES" and schedule an appointment. Dr. Duperier was day and night of the previous surgeon I had picked and said he would be honored to do my surgery & had no problems with going to the hospital that my insurance company wanted me to go to. I was put on a protein diet for 10 days & my surgery was scheduled. He explained everything about the RNY gastric bypass in much detail and I actually watched a video of the surgery itself on their webpage. I can't say enough about all of the staff working there....you're a real live person and not just a number. Everyone is so friendly and several have had a type of surgery by either Dr. D or Dr. Seger that when they give you advice about protein, vitamins, and supplements, they have actually walked the walked. They have a dietician in the office that is very knowledgable and pleasant to work with. Then to top it off, they are affilated with a fitness center that charges a whole $15.99 per month to work out Monday-Friday. I can't tell you how happy I was to fall in the hands of BMI of Texas, they all are a truly bunch of wonderful caring people that want nothing more than to see you suceed. If I had to rate them, it would definately be a 15 on a scale of 1-10 :-)

Dr D has been wonderful to work with over the past 18 months! He and his staff have been nothing but helpful, professional and supportive!

I have talked with many othersthat are WLS post-op from other surgeons and am amazed at the difference in levels of care out there. I have not heard of any that have had better or more comprehensive service.. but I have heard of many that have had less.

If someone were to say they were getting the surgery - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to Dr D and the staff at BMI!
