How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

6 month follow up with Internal med MD
Great appointment.. All my labs came back in normal range! Am off one b/p med. he wants to wait 6 months more and take me off others, b/p and statin. My choke sterol was under 200 but he would like to see it lower. I am lucky to have really high good cholesterol so he was happy with that. Next week I see surgeon for 6 month. Will also see dietician. Am looking forward to it! It is nice not to dread MD visits !
Next week I see surgeon

Back on track
Had a great holiday season and was able to adjust to the variety of food situations. My biggest problem is too much time on my hands. Up until Christmas I was so busy making gifts but now I have nothing I "have" to do. I have been watching Netflix for weeks and grazing as I do it. Not good. I have been called back to work starting today. The nurse that took over for me did not work out. I will go back for 4 hours a day. Hopefully, it will restore some routine and purpose to my life!
12 week post op!
I cannot believe it has been 3 months ! It is scary how fast time goes by. Even faster now that I am so senior! Saw my wonderful surgeon yesterday. She walked right by me in the reception area apologizing for running late. A few minutes later when she came in to exam room she said" Oh my gosh, I didn't even recognize you! You look fabulous" OK my ego has been primed to last until 6 month visit! She was very pleased as I had lost 27% of my excess weight! I am down 30 since day of surgery and 40 since preop diet. I haven't been this weight in 25 years ! It has been gradual loss 3-4 lbs then plateau week or more then a few more! My skin, especially my neck has not drooped . I'm grateful for that. My breasts are another story however. I have to try not to step on them! I will have to find a creative way to fold and package them as I have no money left for surgery and insurance covers nothing plastic/ cosmetic. I'll deal with it.
My labs were all good except for B12, which was high. I will cut down on that dose. I remain totally satisfied and happy with the decision to be sleeved! Headed to support group Christmas party 12/17.

Provider Review
Dr Medvetz is new to the Bariatric center at Bingham Memorial Hospital in Blackfoot ,Idaho. She is wonderful! Great positive attitude. Makes you feel she cares about each patient individually. Entire staff that I met has everything good to say about her as well.
