What Does Long-Term Success Look Like?
These are real stories from real patients who found lasting results through Dr. Matthew Weiner's comprehensive approach to weight loss.
Julie's Story
“I have been overweight pretty much my whole life. I would use the 'diet of the day' to lose some weight, and then go off the program because it wasn't sustainable long term. I would gain back the weight I lost and then some. When I finally came to the realization that I was never going to break that cycle on my own, I made an appointment with Dr. Weiner. We had a lengthy discussion about ME and decided on a plan of action!
The Pound of Cure program worked great for me as a starting point because it has me eating regular food, nothing fancy. You don't have to buy a bunch of packaged, processed stuff. I believe that is why for me, 3 years later, I am still following his program and maintaining my weight loss and finding success after Gastric Bypass. The RNY was a tool to help me along the way, but the Pound of Cure lifestyle is what is going to keep me healthy...”

Katie's Story
“A few years back I noticed a friend of mine at work was looking extremely healthy and fit. I asked her what her secret was and she told me about a doctor that I never would have guessed would have changed my life without ever meeting him.
If you or someone you know is looking for a plan that really not only works, but makes sense and is not a fad, please read this book. It will honestly change how you feel about food and ultimately change how you feel about yourself. I still have some work to do, but I know that I am on the right path. I finally feel like I am not on a diet for the first time in my life. This is a lifestyle, this is making the best choices for my health. The weight loss is a bonus, but what I have done for my overall health is the biggest benefit. Thank you Dr. Weiner, I am forever grateful.”

“Pound of cure is great. The staff are supportive and have been helpful during this journey. I highly recommend them if you're looking to make a change. Started my journey end of 2023 and got my surgery in January 2024. Has been 5 months since I have had my gastric bypass surgery and I couldn't be happier with my progress. Has been tough but I'm pushing and making progress everyday. I've lost a total of 62lbs and have 58lbs until I reach my goal.”

“I had a Roux en y gastric bypass in Dec '23. Dr. Weiner did a great job! He is very personable and takes the time to answer any questions. He has a whole team of people to support you before and after surgery. He offers video appointments, online classes, cooking classes at his office, podcasts, etc. I know that if I have a question, I can get it answered relatively quickly. I highly recommend Dr. Weiner and his Pound of Cure Weight Loss center. A+++”
