Thanks for your perspective, Berry! I really hadn't thought of it that way. I do live in a very large metropolitan area so there are a few people who do the procedure near me from what I've found. I think it was really smart to make your decision based on that. Another reassuring thing for me is that I don't live very far from Mexico (where I'm getting my surgery done). Now that you've made me aware of another name for the procedure, I was able to find more useful information and I feel a little more comfortable with the idea. Its very strange.. I've been looking into WLS for the past 4 years and felt like I knew all of my options.
