I was a little skeptical about the surgery at first. I had a friend that had it done last June, and I thought she was crazy! When she came back and told me about her experience and how easy it was and how great the staff and doctors were. Still skeptical, but after about nine months and I saw how much weight she had lost and how great she felt I was in! I sign up to go on February 18, 2013. The staff picked me up right from the airport in San Diego and took me right to the hotel (which was Very nice!)The staff there was awesome and the doctors staff at the hotel was there to get you started. I never felt alone, they were there to tell you what time you needed to catch the van to go to the clinic to have the surgery. After the surgery, they took very good care of me. It's been 2 months and I'm down 27 pounds and have another 35-40 to go. The hardest part has been the eating adjustment. You really can only eat just a little bit at a time. But at no time have I regreted having the surgery done!Not only have I lost weight I just couldn't lose before, but I feel better health wise and about myself! Just do it!!!
