They did not tell me first of all that I would not be able to metabolize a medication I was taking and I would almost die of an overdose. Then I had a staple found in my stomach and an endoscopy that they did. And they charged me for it. Finally, my stomach has never been the same. I have so much more acid, difficulty digesting, constantly feeling nauseous after I eat. Just a lot of different complications. I do take licorice root of all things and this does help my stomach some. Plus, I have medication for nausea now. But it's not fun going through pain every single day after you eat no matter how much you eat. I even had trouble taking pills now. I would not recommend these people. I think this is a chop shop to tell you the truth. They do more procedures at this office than any other office in the United States. What should that tell you? I figured they know what they were doing, but I think I was wrong.

Let me preface my comments here with the fact that I think gastric bypass surgery was the best…read morething that ever happened to me -- I just wish I'd known from the beginning that this was a Lot more complicated than they Ever told me. I had gastric bypass surgery in February of 2013. At the age of 48. When I originally started the process I was 5'2 and 346#. At the time of surgery I was about 20# less. Dr Hoen is an excellent surgeon, an his team is great as well. I will say the appt scheduling, front desk staff and billing staff are less than exceptional. At that time the did have the seminars - and they made the whole process sound painless and either glossed over or skipped completely the less savory parts. I remember being told the process would eliminate things like gremlin - that hunger pangs would go away forever. This might be the case during the honeymoon period but they do return long term. I after a few follow up surgeries- hernia, strictures, etc I did reach a low of about 150, the goal originally set. At that time I was ready for a pannicolectomy - during the seminar they promised they would have a surgeon on staff to do such surgeries-- they did not. Instead I went to a plastic surgeon and had an "outpatient procedure." The evening after I developed a hemorrhage and was back in the hospital on life support. After this I was in the hospital for a week and in rehab for 6 weeks. Right after I has recovered from that I had another hernia operation, which one of the bariatric surgeons did "open surgery" which completely destroyed my newly rebuilt belly button. Not long after that I had another hernia surgery by the same bariatric doctor, where he repaired the hernia an the placed a mesh patch over it. During all of this I experienced the same compassionate care from the surgeons and their support staff, and the same frustrating front desk indifference. After all this, I was down to 135 and looked like I was on the verge of death. People would come up to me in public and off to "help" me because they thought I looked too weak to manage on my own. I have in last couple of years regained some weight and am currently trying to lose it again.

But I found myself in the mirror less and less pleased with how I was taking care of myself. In the last 5 yrs I went into sales and had two kids... I was failing in my health because it wasn't a priority I was focusing on. Jerry offered me a free scan and I bought a shake. We discussed my goals, and what actions I wanted to take to reach them. I half heartedly used their products, and after about three months I wanted to join their challenge because half hearted anything is nothing. The challenge has been great, it has provided me the accountability I needed to focus. As an ex athlete I have had MANY supplements and shakes. I feel I have had better pre-workout drink before, but the protein shakes are the best I have ever had. No, I am not a distributor, and I have only done maybe 3 yelp reviews in my life. Just wanted to share my genuine experience here. Thanks Jerry
