So I have spent the past few months researching this surgery and several different doctors.  I can honestly say that this website and all of the AMAZING people on this particular thread have helped me with this decision.  That being said... I have paid my deposit!!!  I am going to the amazing OCC!!  The deposit is nonrefundable so it looks like I’m going through with it!  The reality of it hasn’t really hit yet.  This is literally life changing.  But to be honest I’m terrified.  I’m not scared of the surgery.  That doesn’t bother me at all.  It’s life after the surgery that scares me.  How do I do “thin” or smaller in general?  I’ve always been the thick or big girl.  I know how to act and how to expect others to act when I'm big.  So after this surgery when I lose a bunch of this excess baggage how do I adjust?  Is anyone else scared of who you’ll become after surgery?   

I scanned and emailed the copy of the cashier's check for my remaining balance yesterday and then I received all my final confirmation emails with my itinerary and whatnot. This is really happening!

I'm going to Dr. Ortiz in January. I've spent the past month researching doctors and countries. I feel very comfortable and confident in my choice. Dr. Ortiz has an incredible reputation from all the research I've done. Good luck!!!
