Hi,
Dr. Balfour is really good but like everyone says research is the key.   For me I wanted a comprehensive program and in my research I liked Castle Medical Centers program as they set you up with a nutriontist, fitness trainer, psychologist, etc...   Dr. Fowler will be performing my lap band on Dec 10.    Good luck to you and Welcome to the board I have found so much support and knowledge here.  Sara

Indeed, you are beautiful and I think it's wonderful that you're finally starting to believe it... and in yourself. ((hugs))

Hi Dawn,

I wanted to welcome you to the Hawaii Board.

Research is the key. I must have watched over a thousand you tube videos on all the different surgeries and read tons of profiles here on OH and also read anything I could find.  The decision was hard for me also but, I think once you've made up your mind, then you can focus on what you need to do to make the surgery work for you.  They all have their pro's and con's.  What might be good for me may not be the best for someone else.

Best of Luck in your journey!  This board is great.  Everyone tries to help where they can.
