Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

The 'numbers'...
My 'HW' (heaviest weight) when I began this journey 6 months ago: 276
My 'SW' (surgery weight) Oct. 27, 2015, the morning of surgery: 254
My 'CW' (current weight) Oct. 31, 2015, as of this morning: 244
Still trying to get my liquids in and I've yet to even get to a protein shake, but the sugar free Popsicles and jello cups are my best friends. The broth was beginning to make me gag at the thought of them until I put a slice of onion in it for a slight change in flavor! Worked like a charm! I still don't have an appetite for the most part..I'm actually not hungry at all, really. The pain has pretty much gone away, I even slept on my stomach last night..accidentally, out of habit I guess lol...I'm hoping I made the right decision in having done this..there's no turning back now though lol..stay tuned, folks..I'm sure it only gets better from here!

On the other side...
Had my surgery Tuesday. Today is Friday. Still in pain, but I feel much better than the day of! I'm back home but I'm having trouble keeping anything down. I take a small sip and it comes right back up. I've been trying to get my liquids in but I can only manage a few sips a day..hope this gets better..

I've been on this site for 6 months now, just taking it all in..I've completed all of my requirements and tests. I've been approved by my insurance and I 'think' I'm all ready.. So my procedure is October 27.. In 5 days. I'm nervous, but ready. Are there any tips or anything you guys wish you had known PRIOR to having the surgery? Any advice would be appreciated!
