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.

The big 5-0!
I just recently hit the big 50lbs loss marker! The horrendous weather has helped since I’ve had to shovel often just so that I can go to he gym. Haven’t had any issues with dumping, eating, or getting in my liquids. I have been busy getting used to my Medtronic 670g insulin pump. It’s an amazing machine, but I’m still figuring it out. The photos are from just before I hit the 50lbs loss mark.
Random tidbit
I’ve decided that when people who I’m not close with ask me about how I lost weight, my response will be “Tide Pods”. I’m not ashamed of having the surgery or afraid of judgment. I just think that telling people my Tide Pods diet is my weight loss secret is hilarious!
Met with my endocrinologist today!
I met with my endocrinologist for the first time since undergoing my RNY. She was incredibly impressed with how my diabetes has been. My a1c was 6.5 & I weighed in at 176 weighing jeans & sweaters, so I’m guessing that I’m about 170-173. My endo decided that I needed to reduce my basal rates from 39.6 units a day to 36 units a day.
But ... that’s not all.....
I FINALLY GOT THE MEDTRONIC 670G INSULIN PUMP!!!
I started wearing it today. I’m not using the auto mode (the mode which automatically corrects your blood sugars every 5 minutes) yet. You have to wear the pump & sensor for about two weeks for the algorithms to pick up your body’s natural blood sugar flow. So in two weeks I’ll be ale to use the 670g to its fullest capabilities. With even tighter control over my T1D, I’ll be able to lose weight even easier!
