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.

Still not at goal weight for my BMI but VERY happy with where I am today ???? If I don't lose another pound, I'd be comfortable and happy with being exactly how I am right now! Size 6-8 bottoms and medium small tops. Healthy and have had ZERO complications.

Almost been a year!

Sorry for the long...long.... pause in updates! I can't be believe its almost been a year! My current weight is 133 as of two days ago ????????woo hoo! I've been staying around the same weight for the past 4 months or so and thought I was done losing but somehow in the past 2 weeks I dropped about 6 lbs! Very strange... been sticking to protein water (about 50 grams a day), Greek yogurt for breakfast, and a protein bar or two for lunch and snack with a normal dinner of whatever I want...

Thinnest I've been in 10 years!

OMG! I'm down to 147.2 lbs this morning!! Wow! This has been an unbelievable journey so far.... I feel a bit guilty that this has all happened so easily for me after sooooo many years of struggling, suffering, humiliating, and torturing myself!
I bought some size 10 pants for work 2 weeks ago since all my other pants were falling off and I'm finding them loose already! Try not to buys clothes even if it's fun ????. The positive is that you will save money on food and have more to spend on clothes ????!
so far I've done very little exercise and been trying to stick to a high protein low carb diet but have not been very good about either of those things. I do however, avoid almost all sugar... I've had some small amounts of rice, beans, tortillas, and occasional bread/pasta, and alcohol.
I can tell that I'm able to drink and eat more in one sitting than before but I'm starting really hard to NOT stretch my pouch out! I stop eating/drinking as soon as I feel full!.
I will say that perhaps if I were more strict with my exercise and diet I might be down to my goal weight by now but in some ways I think losing slowly is better for my body and skin in the long run. I'm so happy that I made the decision to have WLS and have been very fortunate to not have any set backs or adverse events!
I hope all of you lovely people out there are having success on your journeys to self improvement and loving yourselves! Just keep on moving forward one small step at a time and you will see your dreams come true!

Dr. Umbach and his staff were professional, courteous, and have a long excellent history of performing Bariatric surgery. I'm extremely please with my experience there and traveling for my surgery didn't complicate anything. Belightweight.com was also an integral part of placing me with his office. I was leary of traveling to Mexico for surgery but didn't think I could find a surgeon in the states that would be as affordable. With the help of belight weight and Dr. Umbach's staff, my dream was made possible. I have not had any complications post surgery and this is the best decision I could've made for myself!! Dr. Umbach and his staff have this down to a science and they work like a well oiled machine to get you taken care of!
