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.

Before and after photo

This photo was taken in October 2016--one year from my surgery.

Health improving, already...

I don't often step on the scale at home, so I don't know if I have lost any more since I was at my follow up appointment on the 15th. However, I have already noticed a few positive changes.
1. My blood pressure has already improved.
2. The pain, numbness and tingling from my carpal tunnel syndrome has significantly decreased. It's not completely gone, but my hands feel so much better.

I went back to work today (I teach high school English) and I had plenty of energy. The best part was that my students were happy to see me.

One Week Follow Up

I went to the doctor for my one week follow up. My recovery is going well. I'm down 15 pounds since September 28, 2015. I think I lost a few pounds pre-op and the surgery was on the October 7th. I didn't think to weigh myself the day of surgery. My doctor showed me pictures of my lapband. My liver had started wrapping itself around it and he had to chip away at my liver to get the lapband out. I saw a picture of my sleeved stomach. It looked like something from the meat department of the grocery store.
