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.

So you guys this is it, ive had it for being overweight!
Ive done Dr Bernstein and all the other diets out there and nothing works! They all make you fall back to your overweight or make you even weight more!
Im currently on the Pre-Op diet and will be going for my surgery on the 27th July at the OCC Dr. Ortiz.
I have only lost about 5 lbs on the liquid diet being on it for 6 days so far. Feeling nervous as no one except my parents know that im going for surgery.
With the Canadian currency being low this surgery will cost me around $8400 cdn and with flight and pre/post op supplements this is going to be around $10000 Cdn.
Will keep you posted abt the pre-op as the days go by!
This is how i look right now, lots of weight in my stomach! Cant wait to not look permanently pregnant!
