hello everyone!

I think this website is great! it offers great support and lots of information. I am considering having the surgery done. I am so excited because my insurance does cover it, and reading all the testimonials I realize is going to be a process. I had actually thought about this surgery a long time ago but was too chicken! Then a friend recommended this site and I think yall are great. I am not scared anymore. Thanks you guys! I look forward to hearing from yall!

Esther Congratulations on deciding to move forward - deciding to HAVE the surgery is the FIRST towards improving your life!! I didn't decide to do this until now and had consider it over 20 years ago but now was the time. And so I went ahead - and had a VERY positive experience - and was never scared. Here I am 6 months postop and 80ish lbs lighter - and having some great successes. So congratulations to you. Keep us posted as you finish the journey.
