Hello All, I am considering of having a revision surgery in Dominican Republic at Cedimat hospital with Dr. Luis A. Betances, since my insurance (Allianz) does not cover any expenses in United States or Canada, and I have to consider the nearest country which is DR. Has anyone went to…

This has been bothering me quite a bit. I haven’t been out very often due to the fact that I am a caregiver and don’t want to expose my loved one to the virus. If he gets the virus, he will not survive it. This we both know for sure.…

I needed to go in for blood work this week. A nurse met me at the door and took my temperature and made sure I was wearing a mask. Then she asked what type of car I was driving and where I was parked. I went back to the car…

I'm 18 years old and I've been overweight my whole life. I currently weight about 500lbs and to make things worse my friends got me into vaping. I've always wanted to loose weight but could never find the motivation and now it seems so much harder to try because I…

It has been 20 years since my BPD/DS, and probably 15 years since I last visited Obesity Help. Thought I'd pop in now that I am officially an "old - timer"!! Surgery, recovery, and weight loss were uneventful for me, and I remain grateful every day for the opportunity to have…

I hit my final goal of 127.0, it's been a long journey but so well worth it. If you ever feel like it's hopeless,it's not, I have hit many stalls and even gained some weight back but just remember that the road to success is never smooth or straight.

By far the worst customer service I ever received on multiple times.. CS does not hear or care what you are telling them. I’m on auto ship but I call it in. Sometimes cash is always an issuer for me. But still, they always try to make excuses when you…
Dr. Sandor was great from the start. He answered all my questions. He gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision. He laid out what my options were with pros and cons. He was a realist the entire time. He tells you what you need to…
