Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had the gastric pouch with silastic ring in 1995 and lost 165 lbs and 10 yrs later an additional weight without further intervention to total 185 lb wt loss, 20 years later, I continue to maintain that weight. I walk 4 miles 1-2 times daily, take my vitamins and a healthy diet in small meals throughout the day. I chose to have long term follow up with my primary MD. I would recommend him, along with a patients full understanding that malnutrition is Created and it is not a quick fix.
