Dawn.. first i want to say you are doing awesome.. and keep doing what your doing..  and i completely 100% understand where your coming from..  gastric bypass  helps change our appearance .. but it doesnt help change our image in our mind on how we feel and look about ourselves..    i think when i finally hit my 150 pounds or lower.. ill still see the fat beth i use to be.    i was skinny growing up.. until i started having kids .. and began to eat bad and like you.. i ate for comfort..    but no matter how much weight i will lose.. i never wanna be that fat beth i once was.. and it will forever be in my head..         but we have to let go of that fat person we once were..   and let us be happy with how we feel and look..  we are looking better with each day...    look how far youve come... how far we have all come...   compare a picture of yourself today.. from before surgery...  it will put a smile on your face.. and a warm spot in your heart.....  keep up the GREAT work..

I'm in Yorktown.  I do not think Dr. Clark does the sleeve (or his partner).  They didn't when I went to a seminar there, but that was back in 2008.  I traveled to Duke (about 3 hours) for the DS with Dr. Sudan.  It has the sleeve stomach, but an intestinal switch as well.  Have you considered this?  There is an excellent DS surgeon in PA (Dr. Peters) who has a decent self-pay rate.  He may do sleeves as well.  His contact info should be at www.dsfacts.com.

I'd consider going to Mexico to see Dr. Ungson ONLY. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.  I see two of you recommended the same doctor.  DId she do any work for you? or a friend?  was the results good? So you never heard of Dr. Gamper UVA or his work?

Anyway I hope I am not asking to many questions but I want to hear from people who have had work done or know about them.  Any info. you would like to share will be so appreciated. 

WOW 200lbs that is awesome and congrats to changing your life forever.

Take care
