My wife had wanted to have this surgery for a few years and I was apposed to it because of risk, money and other reasons. As time went on and diets came and went for both of us, we had reached our biggest points to date and were miserable. Just the simple task of basic hygiene was becoming difficult, not to mention no energy to play with my children. She brought it up again and thought anything would be better. So in our research, there were things that we saw we shouldn't ever do again to make sure we are successful in our goals and that took some time to come to grips with. Once we had gone thru all the pros and cons, we decided to contact Weight Loss Agents based on a referral from a friend. The process was easy because of all the help they provided and the cost was so much better than having it in the States. We had our surgery and it went smooth. The facilities are first class and we couldn't say enough about the staff because they were very helpful. It has taken a lot of adjustment mentally to correct my eating habits and make sure that we put the "good" stuff in us. It has been 6 months and my wife has lost 55 lbs and I have lost 72 lbs and nearly at my goal. Our lives are forever changed because we have learned new ways to eat and it has passed down to our children who are learning correctly now. I have dropped from 42" to 32" pants and feel great. Since we have had family members go have the surgery with equal success. If you are considering it, please do your research and be ready to make a big change because this is just the tool to help you complete the job. Contact Weight Loss Agents and let them handle your logistics in the process because it made it completely stress free.
