“He treats you like a person — not just a patient.” A story of real care from Tucson Bariatric. 💙
Dr. Jeff Monash was honored as a Tucson Hero at the quarterly Hero Breakfast, a community event recognizing individuals who exemplify service, courage, and compassion.
Dr. Monash, founder of Tucson Bariatric and the Wound Center of Tucson was the event’s first-ever medical honoree. He was recognized alongside heroes from three branches of the U.S. military and Andy Cathey, brother of co-founder Matthew Crandell.
Adding a deeply personal note to the event, Gordy Siewert, a patient of Dr. Monash, was welcomed as the featured community speaker. Gordy’s words about strength, healing, and gratitude moved the room, underscoring the profound bonds that can form between patients and their physicians.

Veggie Swaps = Big Wins
Ditch the carbs without ditching flavor. My favorite swaps:
Wraps → Romaine, cabbage, or collard greens
Rice → Riced cauliflower or parsnips
Pasta → Zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash
Chips → Sweet mini peppers
Pizza crust → Cauliflower, meat-za, or veggie boats (bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant)
These simple swaps can help you stay full, energized, and on track—especially after bariatric surgery.
