Wow!!! I'm one of those thinking about the surgery. Posts like this really help me in my decision. You look amazing! Congrats! Keep it up:)

Thanks so much for the info. I've been in contact w/Susan a time or two just for general info. I'll be sure and email her w/my specific questions!

Thanks again:)

I went through MedicalFinancing.com and chose Dr Alvarez. By all means avoid No Patient Left Behind. SCAMMY.

I've been reading any info I can find on Dr. Alvarez. I really like everything I've read about him, but I'm also scared that it could all be a crazy hoax (only b/c that's my luck w/things!) Is there anything you've read about him that worried you? And how hard was it to get financed? Thanks so much for the help!

One more thing, I'd LOVE to hear how everything goes for you after the surgery:) Good Luck!! You'll do great!

This thread has officially made my day! My BIGGEST grammar peeve is the use of "pacific" instead of "specific". So, are we talking about the ocean now?? lol

This is amazing! Love the pics!! You look so happy!! Congrats:)

This is so exciting!! Congrats!! Keep us posted along the way:)

I haven't had surgery yet, however, I'm really wanting to have it done at the end of this year. I absolutely LOVE reading all of the funny and often NOT funny things everyone has to say. So many of them remind me of myself! Thanks so much for being yourselves... And honest about this journey!!

I'm 26 and in my 2nd year of nursing school... I'm really looking into having VGS with Dr. Alvarez. At 4'11", 240# just ISN'T healthy! I'm so glad to know I'm not the only "younger" person out here:)
