I was scared like any normal human being, but the experience is just like everyone says. I was taken care of very professional. I am divorced and have 2 little girls that I was scared to leave but now I can provide a better life because of this surgery. I do not regret it and I used this forum of looking at other people pictures (before and after ) to assist with my decision. So from one person looking to now have done it and have lost 62 lbs just under 3 mos. Thank you to ALL STAFF from surgeon , drivers, nurse staff, and hotel WONDERFUL!!!!
