I went to another program in the area, close by that is working so much better(Lost 28.8 pounds in 51 days). That is why I know this one is a joke. About 2 years ago I went. Went to doctor, he said lose 30 lbs, and we will do the surgery. I asked how, he said doesn't matter. Psychologist they make you meet with just reads questions of a sheet, like "Do you want to off yourself". Surprised since its affiliated...
