I am so excited!! I just set my surgery date with Dr. Alvarez!! With months of research and reading forums I have made my choice and I am very happy with that decision. There will always be some hesitation I am sure, but I am looking forward to being on this forum with other people that are taking or have taken this road. I can't wait to talk to everyone and share experiences! :confused1:

Congratulations! Once you have the surgery and begin seeing and feeling the results for yourself, you'll forget that there was any hesitation to begin with. Today, for the first time in a month, I put on a pair of jeans and my boyrfiend told me I was swimming in them. Just hearing that made my day. Of course I couldn't change them so just feeling them baggy all day kept a smile on my face. Make sure to keep us all here posted on how your doing. Good luck on your journey!

Thank you so much buttercup and congrads on your weight loss, that would be a dream to hear the words you heard today! I really appreciate your reply! Did you have your surgery with Dr. Alvarez?

No, I acually had my surgery in the bariatric clinic of Bellevue hospital in NYC. They were great.

Congrats! You are going to love Dr. A. I had my surgery with him in April and I am loving life:) Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions:)
