Bariatric Surgeon Mickey Seger Honored as One of San Antonio’s Business Leaders
Since 1995, the San Antonio Business Journal has published an annual list of “40 Under Forty,” which honors today‘s and tomorrow’s leaders. According to the newspaper, this year’s winners are “40 people not yet 40 who are driven to make San Antonio a better place to live and work.” Publisher Kent Krauss headed up the editorial board which selected the winners from among 165 nominations.
“It’s an incredible honor for me to be recognized as one of San Antonio’s leaders and I’m especially flattered considering the amazing group of individuals with whom I share the honor this year,” said Dr. Seger.
Dr. Seger was also recognized earlier this year as one of San Antonio’s “Top Doctors” by Scene in S.A. magazine, as was his partner and BMI of Texas co-founder Dr. Terive Duperier. Located in San Antonio’s Medical Center area, BMI of Texas helps patients achieve their weight loss goals through various surgical procedures including gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band and sleeve gastrectomy. BMI of Texas assists patients throughout their entire weight loss journey. After attending a free, educational seminar and learning about the various types of weight loss surgery procedures, patients are assigned a patient advocate to help coordinate the often-confusing paperwork and insurance stipulations necessary for surgical intervention. Post-operatively, the doctors continue to follow their patients to ensure long-term weight loss success.
Additionally, the surgeons perform a full spectrum of advanced laparoscopic procedures, including laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (anti-reflux surgery), laparoscopic colon surgery, laparoscopic pancreatic surgery, and laparoscopic hernia surgeries.
