Our Mission
Parnell Wellness created BariWiki to fill a critical gap in bariatric surgery education. Patients facing weight loss surgery deserve clear, comprehensive, and medically accurate information — not scattered forum posts or outdated pamphlets. BariWiki is our answer: a living encyclopedia that puts over 1,300 bariatric surgery terms, procedures, and care guidelines at your fingertips.
Who BariWiki Is For
BariWiki serves three primary audiences. Patients — whether you are researching whether bariatric surgery is right for you, preparing for an upcoming procedure, or navigating life after surgery, BariWiki provides clear explanations of every term your medical team may use. Healthcare professionals — surgeons, dietitians, nurses, and primary care providers use BariWiki as a quick-reference tool for bariatric terminology, nutritional protocols, and complication management. Researchers — students and academic researchers use our standardized definitions as a reference for bariatric-related studies and publications.
Our Standards
Every BariWiki entry is curated with care. We reference guidelines from the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), peer-reviewed medical literature, and established clinical protocols. Our content is reviewed for accuracy and updated regularly to reflect evolving best practices in bariatric care.
