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.

Hello, everyone. I'm new to the community. My name...
Hello, everyone. I'm new to the community. My name is Merlyn, 33 yrs. of age, not married nor children, quite yet. I've been battling with my weight for many years now. I started dieting intensely back in December 2013, so far I'm down to 305 lbs., from 345 lbs. I'm truly excited about my decision, my family members are very supportive, and the doctor's office staff are great, as well. My doctor's office is located in Oxford, Ms., and so far they have been wonderful, regarding my decision making process. I'm truly looking forward to ALL highs and lows,...to begin developing a healthier lifestyle,...to find myself,...to finally find,...Merlyn. I have a great job (with The State of Mississippi), in which I'm walking daily, and keeping my energy level high and constant. I'm praying to gain more confidence, better health, build new and lasting relationships, and continue working on myself,...being 100% happy daily. Whenever, I think about my clear/promising/bright future, ahead of myself,...I'm reminded of the Walgreen's commercial,..."On the corner of happy and healthy." I'm looking/headed to the hills, in which cometh my health. Amen. God is good. You guys,...look forward to my next success story and postings,...and please continue postings your success stories,...with words of encouragement for us ALL. I've read several success stories already, along with individual's stories like mines (Just in the beginning phrase.) Take care, in the meantime. God bless. ;)
Gastric Bypass Scheduled for November 18, 2015!! So excited.
Well, I didn't use Oxford Bar. Center. Instead I decided on St. Dominic's, in Jackson, Ms., best decision I've ever made. My dietician, Jenny, is the best. She was very encouraging, supportive, resourceful, and developed different, meal plans, etc. I started @ 355 lbs.,..now I'm 310 lbs. I start my clear liquid, pre-op on Nov. 4. I'm so ready and happy to be completing, a long term battle of mines,...that's NO LONGER, a battle, bur a victory. When I look back and realize, how I used to eat, etc.,...I fight back tears. Luckily, God is good and my support team members are EXCELLENT!!! My doctor's name is Dr. Johnathan Atkins,...he is amazing,...listens to you really,..however; whenever you finish talking,...lol,..he tells you whatever he's going to do/has in mind. I have traveled to Jackson, Ms., from Mound Bayou, Ms.,..2 1/2 hour drive,...for over six months now,...requirement of BCBS,...but happy to see my finishing line. Will post again very soon, to share my pre-op experience. Love ? you guys,...thanks for ALL OF THE SUPPORT!!! Later. ???????? ???? ?????
The wait is on,...
Awaiting my surgery date,...still haven't been given,...the green light to begin,...my pre-op diet,...praying for patience,...I truly hate this part,...but God is good/keeps blessing me.
Provider Review
My doctor is very sweet and knowledgeable. He answers my questions and makes me feel important regardless. My next appointment is August 4, 2016, in Jackson. Hopefully, I can continue to hear, some good news, and hear a good current weight status. If you need help with your weight, I strongly recommend researching a procedure, and making steps, towards a healthy lifestyle. But, please research and weigh, ALL pros/cons. My Gastric Sleeve is only six days old and I'm happy, but learning my body, what to do or don't,...is very hard. But, I'll be okay.
