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.

I've been over weight my entire life I was born...
I've been over weight my entire life
I was born weighing nearly 10lbs. I never really had a problem with being 'fat' until my teens , I would get boils in between my thighs & under my arms ... By the time I was 19 I would get bumps /boils on a daily basis EVERYWHERE , under my chest , my butt, groin area, thighs , underarms , stomach , back ... And I was also diagnosed with hidradenitis.
At first I was told there was nothing that could be done , some doctors said shave, some said don't shave , shower, don't shower . I am still unable to control the outbreaks . So my last resort is to lose this weight . I've tried diets & gyms but after spending months at the gym and seeing no results I would give up .
So I am planning on having the surgery on the 15th.
I weigh 250 I wear a size 14 in pants . I am VERY top heavy . Would it proportion out after the weight lost ?
Will I be sore & unable to care for my child afterwards ?
If so how long?
Any advice ?
Thank you

All liquid diet help
Hey tomorrow I have to do all liquids. Is it okay if I buy a soup and only drink the broth ? Or just juice and water for the entire day ? Also... Anyone know any good protein shakes ?
