My very first 'step' to being the beautiful skinny person I've always dreamed I'd be! Ahhhh I can't wait until this evening... Anyone have any advice for a 21 year old wanting to do this?

I had mine done at Southern Surgical Hospital with Dr. Moore. The staff was amazing. There are several doctors in the practice and they work out of three hospital locations. I believe they are Slidell (where my surgery was)' date=' Metairie, and I think Gretna. I have no complaints with the process and it all went smoothly on their part. I was self pay so I didn't have to go through all the tests needed for insurance. They also specialize in laparoscopic surgery and were very knowledgeable.[/quote']

I'm probably going to do mine through Ochsner. They have 2 surgeons to choose from and I met a lot of the staff at the meeting on Thursday. They all seemed wonderful.

I am going through my ins. Which means 6 months of a nutritionist and many tests... I called my ins yesterday around 4:15 and they transferred me to a department that is supposed to close at 5... It was 4:30 by the time I got transferred and tat department was already closed... Now I have to wait til Monday. So that was a little frustrating...

I was so much calmer about the thought of surgery after my seminar. Any questions or fears you have' date=' write them down. I had questions and of course in the moment forgot what I wanted to ask.

Otherwise, take it all in and you can make your ultimate decision armed with as much info as possible.

Good luck!![/quote']

What doctor are you considering? Dr Noyan in nj did mine I highly recommend him

Ameejo the whole process can get frustrating. Hang in there it's worth it in the end.

I will NOT give up... This dream of being healthy and skinny and having children one day is worth so much more that the frustration this process many bring =]
