New beginning (01/21/2013)
Hello my name is Michael and I had the surgery done on December 4th 2012. I can be honest I was initially nervous going out of the states to have this surgery done.

Just do it. (01/21/2013)
I must say that my experience with the staff and doctors where great. From the time they picked me up from the airport until they dropped me off everything was excellent. I was sick after my surgery with acid on my stomach and throwing up. The nurse stayed with me all night and rubbed my back and ju... * read more.

Exactly as promised (01/20/2013)

My Life Is Changed!! (01/20/2013)
Ok, it's been 15 months since my surgery. Time to give a testimonial about my experience.
First of all, I have seen some comments about "not being that big" and "surgery is pretty extreme when you only have 40, 50 or 60 lbs to lose." I was 200 lbs when I decided to have surgery and my goal... * read more.

Hi I'm Susan and I want everyone to know that this is the best thing I have ever done for me in my life time! My husband said he wishes he would have gotten me the surgery years ago.
