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.

Early stall?
Well I didn't think it would happen this early but I've been the same weight for almost a week so oh well, also have been testing my limitations which is kinda bad, but I feel like my sleeve is bigger than most, well right now bc I'm only on puréed and I've heard the full feeling doesn't really exist yet.
Keeping up with vitamins, water, and protein is such a struggle. But I know I must if I want to lose more weight. Water is going down fine, but puréed food feels like I can eat more, but at times I feel backed up like it's in my throat for a while. I haven't thrown up yet so I know I'm not pushing myself too far. Today I'm gonna go back to my protein shakes. I've been eating tuna, refried beans, mash potatoes, and yogurt. But I feel like I need another restart so just gonna go to the store, buy some fruit and start my wonderful shakes again. Without the fruit they are so gross. But yeahhhhh oh and I'm also doing updates on my wls Instagram: @thicktoslimthick and my YouTube channel name is licklake :)

I got my vsg surgery!
So I got my surgery on October 12, 2016! So excited, I've already lost 20 five pounds from the beginning of the pre op diet. Crazy!! Everything has been so smooth, not much gas pain, just a lot of passing gas and burping. Nausea here and there, but medication helps. Food is getting easier to go down and I couldn't be happier! NO REGRETS!
A new concern!! :( INSURANCE COPAY?? TRICARE STANDARD SOUTH!?
Hey everyone. im at my last process, i have to go see a dietician tomorrow and that will be my next step into getting my surgery! BUT!!!!! I was reading over some of my paper work and i forgot to read the part that says "OUT OF POCKET COSTS!!!!" UGH! So i have tricare standard south, and i know that there is ALWAYS a 20% co pay.. VSG is around 19k.. and 20% of that is around 3k and its due day of two week pre op visit!!! If i seriously have to pay that much i may as well went to MEXICO!
IF ANYONE has had a copay for there surgery talk to me! i need advice!
