Ok, I will look into him. Thanks so much! What is the lowest BMI you know of? and if you hear of any others closer to me please let me know.

Mariasha- can you give me your surgeons information? NYC isnt TOO far.. Especially if you know he will. How do you know he will do my surgery? Elcee- I'm sure you as well as all other overweight individuals know that I have tried those things you stated and if I could commit to those things I would not be here doing surgery research. My bmi is 29-32 now I've been way higher before and tend to Yo-Yo so I'm not sure that surgery is a change for my body completely or my mind also! I'm quite positive that surgery is going to be a life changing experience and give me the ability to make the changes i need too. I'm also at high risk of developing 3 of the co morabilities due to family history and have been told many times if I don't lose a significant amount of weight then it's almost inevitably!
