Dr. Oz is losing credibility



Recommended Posts

I call him Dr. Wizard of Oz, everything an illusion and fabrication.

I agree he didn't write it, but he is responsible for the accuracy of the material on his website. The fact is he is medical doctor pretty much indicates that he is the one responsible for whatever is passed off as medical advice on those pages. Especially when so many people rely on him for medical advice instead of entertainment value. I would have expected to see some peer review before allowing material like that to be published.

I never heard of a band causing fecal matter to be released into the body, nor have I ever heard that bands deteriorate and will only last for ten years.

He's a snake oil salesman in a white coat. I watched about 3 episodes of his show and thought it was more like an infomercial than anything. I work in pharma so I may have a little more medical knowledge than the average non-medical person but I thought his exaggerated strung out object lessons on how the body works were ridiculous. How about real medical diagrams or animations like WebMD has.

Maybe raspberry flavored green coffee bean extract at 10 am every day could have kept ALL of us out of surgery...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
