When I had my surgery it was my last hope. I was very neeviouse for obvious reasons. One being that I was going to another country to be cut open. When I arrived I was welcomed by the staff at the hotel who treated us like royalty. REALLY. At the hospital we were able to meet our surgical team and nurses.
My experience way exceeded my expectations.
My before was 217 pounds at 5 3 small frame. I am writing this today at 155 pounds and almost 8 months out. I feel great.
