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.

Month 5

I'm able to eat more as the months pass, but I'm continuing to monitor my intake and make note of when I mess up or get off track. I gained my weight by eating everything I wanted and I cannot go back to that life.. so I continue with reprogramming my brain and eating habits!
Would I do it again, the Orbera, absolutely! The first 1-2 weeks are rough but I made it!
I'm down about 35# at this point. I've begun to fluctuate up and down by 6#, but it is my eating of the wrong things and too many calories that made that happen. I get back on track and lose it again.
I get removal sometime in March... so I'm planning on making the most of my final days with the obera...
Don't lose hope... this works...but you have to do the work too, and you cannot go back to your old eating habits if you want the results to last long term...

One Month Post Procedure

Still going strong! I've had bad days, but I'm learning to rethink my food, calorie, and exercise decisions.
I'm down - 20 range in just one month! I'm almost half way to my goal. I do need to continue to focus on exercise and increasing my steps/day. Love my Garmin tracker and my fitness pal app to track food/weight and more.
I'm happy I decided to do the orbera procedure. It's the kick start and everyday tool that I needed to reprogram my brain and body with regard to food/exercise.

1 Week post procedure... feeling great. Dont be...

1 Week post procedure... feeling great. Dont be fooled though, the first day/night was bad with reflux/acid but I never threw up. As each day passes I feel better and better. My jeans are falling off (had to belt them on me yesterday) lol and tomorrow will only be 1 week. scales say im down about 7# so far.. but its unreal the amount of inches ive lost just in this short time.

One of the most personable Doc's I've met in my life. She has a great one and one with patients and actually is enthused and excited about patients results/outcomes.
