Well, I ran into some financing issues but I have rescheduled my surgery for April 26h with Dr. Alvarez. I am SO excited that it is actually happening this time around. I sent out my deposit yesterday and I couldn't be more excited.

So, I am 23 and I have been over weight for as long as I can remember.. My highest weight was 253 and after trying every diet possible I decided to go to a physician assisted weight loss program and I lost nearly 60 pounds.. I kept the weight off for almost 2 years but slowly started putting it back on. In 2008, my mom went to Mexico and did the VSG surgery with Dr. Alvarez and she has lost over 100lbs and is the happiest I have ever seen her. After researching and researching I decided that this is for me. I am kind of nervous because this is a big decision but I think it is the right one.. My date is January 20th and after reading the amazing results from other people on this site I am so excited for this new beginning!

Yeah, great quote.. "Nothing tastes as good as thing feels".. words to live by! My date is Jan 20th and I don't think it's sunk in yet. haha good luck!
