🚨 SCAM ALERT – SPOOF CALLS 🚨

We have been made aware that scammers are spoofing the West Texas Bariatrics and Swat Surgical phone number to call businesses and individuals.

What You Need to Know:
🔹 Do NOT provide personal information or payment.
🔹 If you receive such a call, hang up immediately.

What is Call Spoofing?
Call spoofing occurs when a caller deliberately falsifies the information displayed on your caller ID to disguise their identity. Scammers often use this tactic to make it appear as though they are calling from a local number, a known company, or a government agency.

We are working with our IT department to attempt to identify and stop these criminals.

Tuesday Testimonial ❤️

My name is Shelby and I’m thrilled to share my life-changing journey with you! I underwent bariatric surgery on August 1, 2023, with the incredible Dr. Purtell, and it’s been truly transformative! My starting weight was nearly 300 pounds with a BMI over 43, but now, 18 months post-op, I weigh 156 pounds and have gone from a size 22 to a size 6! I can do everyday things with ease, like crossing my legs, tying my shoes, and wrapping a normal-sized towel around my body. I can run after my kids and be the mother they deserve! Dr. Purtell was so thorough and kind, listening to all my questions and concerns, and I couldn’t recommend him more! The team at West Texas Bariatrics truly sets you up for success, and I’m forever grateful!
