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.

5 years post op VSG

Pre op weight 226. Lowest weight post op 142. Current weight 168. Goal weight still 140-145. Kept most of the weight off after 5 years...average weight 148-153. Still struggle with exercising routinely. Eating healthy most of time but still love deserts. Still stress eating and snacking. Ready to eliminate the 20 pounds gained over last 2 years!
Help! How do I loose this extra 20 lbs for good?!?!?!

15 months post op!

Hello RS friends!
Here is the long overdue update! Starting wt. 226... current wt. 149 and wt. loss is mostly stagnant. Goal wt. is 135.
Doing well, can eat anything. Sometimes I have sugar cravings but good news is I still can't eat much. Still need to increase exercise. Very lazy when it comes to exercise but did get gym membership for motivation.
Also will plan to have tummy tuck... still have lots of belly fat ????.

3-4 months post op!


Provider Review

Dr. Nirmal Jayaseelan

Dr. Jay requires an EGD be done prior to having the VSG. Although I have met with him only twice (initial consult and EGD procedure) he had great bedside manners and seemed very knowledgeable and resourceful. I feel comfortable putting my health in his care. I will see him again for a pre-op appointment.
