ited a weight-loss clinic with a friend. Reluc-
tant to enter because it was so busy, Kaloust
waited for a spell in the parking lot before
working up the nerve to enter. He was sur-
prised to see how busy the clinic was, and
was further relieved when he eventually
summoned the courage to enter. “It was nice
to see I was not the only fat guy in America,”

Over the time that followed, Kaloust
not only overcame his weight problems, but
determined to create a business model that
could provide effective and affordable help
to others. Today, that enterprise is recog-
nized as Medi-Weightloss.
