I started the program 5/8/13 had my 1st weigh in today 5/14 and I'm down 7 lbs. I know it's just water weight so we will have to see as the weeks progress. The program is easy to follow as you get to eat regular food. The appetite suppressants are great and I've had no side effects. The cost is a little high but I have spent $1000's on weight loss products in the past as most of us have. We will just have to wait and see if it was worth it. I will post again with an update. The staff was friendly and it was very easy to mak... read more

Tackling weight loss is tough..Jumpstart MD makes is easy. It is the absolute best way to lose weight.. I am a patient of Dr. Lai and have lost 47lbs. I like the program because they gave me tools like nutrition education, eating plans, a website resource, medication, and vitamins to ensure my success. I feel comfortable walking the door for my appointments, the staff is professional, supportive and encouraging. Most importantly, the program is run by a bariatric specialist (MD). I like knowing that an actual doctor is i... read more

I have loved this program! I had gotten to the point where I felt terrible about my weight and myself; I had lost confidence and self respect. I didn't know if I could ever get a decent figure back. I had never been overweight, having just turned 50 I didn't think it was possible to get down to my high school weight again. Years ago, I had tried Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers, both helped temporarily while I was on the program, but this is the first time understand how to keep the weight off permanently. It's been 8 mon... read more

My wife has lost 40 lbs and kept it off, and I am down nearly 20 with just 10 to go, and it has been a very easy program to follow. Even when you slip up, which you will do, you simply "jump start" it again and you are back to losing weight at a steady, healthy pace. Highly recommend it.

I am with CM. That is my experience of the program exactly. But I am going to make my husband write a review too, because he loves the program and it's one of the few diets he can do. He has already lost a lot of weight.

This place changed my life. After my daughter was born, I was at my heaviest ever. I heard about Jumpstart through a family member. The program was very easy to work with. The use of medication made me not constantly think about food like I had with other weight loss programs. As the weight came off, it was easier to exercise. Before you think about weight loss surgery, go visit Dr. Lai and his staff. They are so nice and work with you to reach your goal.

Updating from my last review... I have reached my 'goal' weight and started on the maintenance end. I reinforce my first 5-star review with another one. Dr. Lai & his staff are friendly, supportive and competent. Just remember there is no 'miracle cure' to weight loss... it involves a lot of work on your end too. This is a service that helps you on your way, but it is up to YOU to change how you eat, and your exercise habits.
