CONSUMER ALERT! ROCA LABS & DON KARL JURAVIN ADMIT TO GASTRIC BYPASS ALTERNATIVE HOAX

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Please read the documents downloaded from the US Middle Distrct of Florida Federal Court whereby Roca Labs and it's owner Don Karl Juravin admitted to their Gastric Bypass Alternative with no surgery products to be a total sham and hoax upon consumers. He admitted in court testimony that he had to "trick" his "fat customers " into buying his product.

He also was forced to admit that his product was basically useless because his "fat customers" were going to lose weight anyways if he could convince them to fast for 16 hours, drink a lot of water and excercise. He admitted to tricking them as you will see on the screen shots below to fake testimonials with YouTube and Vimeo channels, faked written blogs to support Facebook and google ads and fake customers giving testimonials in those videos. Additionally please note that he lied about having a medical background and scientific evidence backing up his claims. The only Doctor that worked for them was a disgraced pediatric neurologist who lost his license for possession of child *** and testified he never even tested or used Roca Labs product.

Now the Feds have Don Karl Juravin by the proverbial balls with a $25 million dollar personal judgement by noting in the screenshot provided. The US Government is holding him personally liable for all his scamming.

The IRS has a personal judgement on him as well for around $1 million dollars. Don't be another sucker and get taken by this guy who has zero medical training.

LOL! This guy is done!

He lost to the US Government on Friday.

He is cooked and finally out of the business of ripping people off! google FTC vs Don Karl Juravin

Guest

i used to work for this dead beat and he still owes me for one months pay. When I kept calling him about picking up my check, he threatened to sue me saying that I was trying to extort money from him!

How F’d up is that.

So when I threatened to sue him he said he would counter sue and ruin me and my family. Stay away from this con game people, it’s not worth it.

Guest

Juravin is a joke in the weight loss industry and the FTC will shut him down soon. He will never survive the $ 27 million dollar judgement and the millions he owes the IRS.

Guest

To Jane below, this is definitely a real review. I used to work for Don Karl Juravin and he sued me for posting a complaint here on pissed consumer.

Look up Don Karl Juravin vs.

Jodie Barnes in Sarasota County Circuit Court in Florida. I also had to seek a couple of restraining orders against him for stalking me as well.This guy is a dangerous nut job who has Zero medical training and you must be careful about dealing with his shady company.

How can the US govt. let this man get away with this???

I was born in the Holy Land not far from where Jesus was born and this is place where I dreamt of my MIRACLE invention. These writings of EXTORTION are written by agents of the USA Federal Govarnments who are trying to BAN my MIRACLE invention. Theses agents of the USA government are harassing me and my family and are always following me wherever I go to destroy the GASTRIC BYPASS ALTERNATIVE MIRACLE which is a tasty misture.I Don Karl Juravin fight for truth for many peoples and USA agents for to bring this MIRACLES to you my loyal followers and I bring truth to light on the many conspiracyes against me and my followers who now number more than 80,000.

This is pathetic. This guy needs to be deported.

Guest

The Federal Judge in this case is ruling on him being held in criminal contempt of court for secretly disposing of assets that were ordered frozen. Someone told the prosecutor and he lied about it when asked....major problems come when you violate court orders and then lie about it!

Hello Tampa Lawyer, do you have any info on the sexual abuse and harassment lawsuits that have been brought against him by former employees?

Guest

Facebook is probably shutting him down as this scam has been reported tothem so many times. Between that and his bankruptcy, I think he will soon just start fading away.I just want my $ back!

Don Karl Juravin- BUSTED

Roca Labs - Don Karl Juravin- BUSTED
Roca Labs - Don Karl Juravin- BUSTED  - Image 2
Roca Labs - Don Karl Juravin- BUSTED  - Image 3

Don Karl Juravin, owner of Roca Labs and Gastric Bypass Alternative NO surgery has been busted again by the Fraud Busters Team for writing fake reviews again. When you read a positive review on him or his company, don't believe it for a New York minute, he or one of his wife wrote it and more than likely paid for it.

Please note the first two items posted above. Pic 1 is supposedly from a customer praising him as a her "mentor" and "amazing inventor". Please note pic 2 taken directly from his website where you see the testimonial which has been proven to be a paid testimonial. Pic 3 is a funny one.

This an excerpt of a testimonial for his website that was posted by him as being from the "land of Moses and Jesus of Nazerath" and "he has more in common with these religious icons than just a sacred birthplace. He is regularly hearalded as a miracle worker". It goes on to say that he "is regularly showered with praise" and " for inventing, promoting and operating the gastric bypass alternative ".

Give me an F' ING break. Don't fall for this scam artist and his crew.

He’s busted alright. He just filed a sham bankruptcy again. Maybe he will change his name again after this fiasco.

Guest

Going to jail...

Guest

The federal judge in his case is holding him in contempt of court for lying about selling frozen assets. What a scammer

Guest

This guy just got busted by the Feds again for hiding bank accounts that he was supposed to report! Wow! How many times until they just arrest him?!!??

Guest

BUSTED! BUSTED!

BUSTED! This clown is a bankrupt fool and pathological liar.

Guest

Very, very bad guy. Anyone he comes in contact with should avoid him at all costs as he is truly certifiable and quite warped. I am surprised he has not been deported yet.

Guest

Hahahahaha! That's some funny ***! You guys are nailing this guy so hard!

Guest

I applaud the bravery of every person who are writing these reviews and not putting up with what this guy has done to everyone. Theses reviews are truthful as I know Don Juravin and in the business.

Take my word for it, you don't know the half of it.

But anyways, keep up the good works and go to real weight loss professionals. God Bless

Guest

I love pic three!!! What an ego!

Guest

Thanks for the review! My wife almost signed up for this plan and glad we discovered these reviews

Guest

Oh, look I can remain anonymous too! Clearly the plan was not for you, that was your choice.

Clearly you never tried the product or did not apply the lifestyle changes required by the rules. I only feel sorry for the 10 people who found this to be helpful! They are now misguided. You, however, are spreading lies.

You are using this post as spam.

I am a GBA user & it works for me. I love GBA!!

You apparently don't read the court documents where he admitted the product was fake and he faked the studies. How gullible are you?

Guest

Look, this is clearly the person who wrote the review so doesn't mean that your review is spam because you got paid for this, and it is clearly an ADVERTISEMENT for products that have been proven fakes, right?????

reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-1336275

How is showing the truth with facts "spreading lies"? Are you insinuating the FTC and IRS are lying?

What would their end game be in doing that?

The fact of the matter is the only people that would be upset over the truth are both those that were suckers, and the scammers that made A LOT of money duping the suckers.

You obviously did not read anything about this case. Quite frankly, the findings should absolutely outrage you if you truly are a customer.

Guest
reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-1336275

Oh, look, people are anonymous because this t.o.o.l. sues everyone that disagrees with him and doesn't become a brainless drone.

He bans anyone who questions him or his "products". He is an absolute s.c.u.m.b.a.g. and I'm sorry your too blind to see that. Don't believe me?

Ask him some serious questions about the FTC or IRS. Ask him where the proof is to combat what the FTC has shown. Get ready to be banned.

Until you can see the facts, you are the one spreading lies. You are the spam.

Guest

Go fraud busters!

Guest

Lol!!! This is funny what you guys keep writing about this sociopath!

I used to work for this monkey and he was so mean to everyone. He deserves it!

reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-1335234

So I tried this product in the hopes that it would work. Yeah right.

It does curb your appetite though, because after following the instructions and consuming that plastic, rubbery ***, I was sick for two days. Vomiting every hour or so, so yep it curbed my appetite all right, and I actually lost 4 lbs. Not the way I want to lose weight. I just can't believe that this Don Juravin, whatever his name is is still in business.

Why would you trust a product from someone who doesn't even have a customer service line. I was dumb, but I will ALWAYS warn people about this guy! I wish they would try to sue me. Go ahead.

Looks like the government already banned you from doing that. Karma is a *** though!

Roca Labs is AMAZING!  80 lbs gone in 2 month

I lost 80 lbs in 2+ months. This Gastric Bypass ALTERNATIVE is amazing.

I started at 430 lbs and now 350 lbs simply by following instructions and rules. No tricks.

Amazing feeling of success and health. More than that, for the first time in my life I am able to defeat the fat. I am winning and the feeling is great. I would recommend this to anyone who is considering surgery to try this first. The results are amazing! If you haven't tried it you need to.I have nothing but good things to say about this regiment.

Roca Labs is the FANTASTIC. I lost 8 dress sizes!

I lost 75 lbs and it feels like 100 lbs. I couldn't have done it without the Roca Labs regimen.

It was so easy to do. Those who say it doesn't work, must not be following the instructions. This is the best and easiest thing I have ever done. I couldn't be happier with my results.

I lost 8 sizes already! (16 to size 8)

I personally have never had a problem with customer service and have always had received nothing but professional and prompt responses always to my questions.

Roca Labs is the BEST!

Roca Labs is the BEST!

Around Sept 30, 2015, I started Roca Labs. The picture on the right was April 22, 2015, the one on the left was March 16, 2016.

The regimen was the BEST thing I ever invested my money into. I was always smaller but blew up after having my second baby and couldn't get it to go away even after steadily going to the gym and working out.

Roca Labs was my last option before gastric bypass surgery.

Roca Labs Gastric Bypass ALTERNATIVE changed my life!

Roca Labs Gastric Bypass ALTERNATIVE regimen changed my life. I suffered from sleep apnea and had to sleep hooked up to a machine every night. In February, I purchased the regimen. Whoever says it doesn't work must not be following all the instructions and rules. Within 6 months I lost 72 lbs and I no longer need to sleep with my CPAP machine.

There is no way I could have done this without the Gastric Bypass Alternative regimen. Thank you, Roca Labs. I am confident with the Gastric Bypass ALTERNATIVE regimen I will achieve my healthy weight naturally.

Roca Labs is a Great Product

Roca Labs is a great product. I started out at 268 lbs and now am weighing in at 252 lbs.

What a difference I feel after losing only 15 lbs. I sleep better, clothes lay better on me, and feel better about myself. It's such a great feeling. I still have a ways to go.

If you want change, you have to do something about it. If you are skeptical about this product I recommend you try it. So far it's been pretty great.

I'm excited for the future. Roca Labs is alright with me!

Never received product

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

After months of debating whether or not I was willing to spend this much money on a "maybe", I looked on eBay and found this product (the seller was lited as Roca Labs) at a discount but I had to pay the total amount, I didn't have the option of splitting it up over three months. I was told I would be contacted by Roca Labs to be approved (which told me it was legit) since I had already gone through the approval process I wasn't concerned when I didn't hear from them.

I purchased it on 6/10, paid through paypal which went through on 6/11. I was notified it would be delivered between 6/17 and 6/21.

On 6/23 and 6/24 I emailed the seller and never received a reply, so I contacted eBay resolution, today I received my entire purchase price plus shipping, lucky for me I purchased it through eBay and not directly from the company! #buyerbeware!!!

Roca Labs Reply:
The regimen is sold only through doctors and the official site. I hope you learned a lesson to buy only directly from the company.

Easy Weight Loss

You guys and gals are taking weight loss too seriously. All that needs to be done to lose weight permanently is to eat at a caloric deficit.

Find your maintenance calories (plenty of free calculators in google) and eat below that. For example as a 5'10 male at around 180 lbs, i found out that my maintenance calories would be around 2500 calories a day. I decided to limit myself to 2000 calories a day. But that doesnt mean i limited the type of foods I ate.

I still ate what i wanted, kept my calories to 2000, and im now 165 lbs after 2 months.

That fat is off for good. Eating at a caloric deficit is the ONLY way to lose weight permanently.

Roca Labs Reply:
Roca Labs has always stated the best way to achieve a healthy weight is through proper diet and exercise. However, some people find it difficult to control their food intake. Roca Labs is a tool to help those people to control their food portions.

Roca Labs Really WORKS!!

I have been on Roca Labs Gastric Bypass Alternative formula for just 3 months and I have lost 13inches in my stomach, 17 inches on chest, 9 inches from my thighs, 8 inches in arms and 7inches in my hips. I have tried Meta fast, Herbalife, Advocare, and NOTHING has helped but Roca Labs.

I felt better within 2 weeks and was able to exercise. I have really toned up.

Seeing is believing. Just look at my pictures!
