Spring Break, 3/11/13

At last. Feeling at peace with my decision and things seem to be working out.

Congrats! Don't be surprised if you waiver on your decision between now and then. I did it a hundred times.

I've got Spring Break envy. I'm getting mine done over Spring Break too--a little early, actually--except I'm getting it done on 3/22, which is the Friday before my Spring Break officially starts. I miss semesters

I'm terribly jealous of your peace. I can't find it! Im still torn between the same 2 surgeons. Sigh.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you. I just kept second guessing myself but I'm over that now. I really am feeling comfortable now. I hope I can sustain this peace and comfort.

Have you been sleeved yet? If so, would you mind sharing your experience? If you haven't, when are you going?

Amanda Rae

I would really look around Dr.almanza and the Internet he is performing 10-12. A day

To have a very sanitized OR is very important each surgery takes 1.5-3 hours depending on each patient

I would do some more investigating I did.

It's very important you want the best doctor and team with the doctor and the support staff for you

This is a very major surgery your going to be receiving .

My family doctor is very pro for this surgery but only likes a couple of the doctors performing it. He helped e lots pick he correct doctor for me

Thank you. I just kept second guessing myself but I'm over that now. I really am feeling comfortable now. I hope I can sustain this peace and comfort.

No, i haven't been sleeved yet, but did do alot of research and I just felt that Dr Lopez is the right choice for me. I'm getting sleeved in Feb. between the 18th & 22nd. thru ALM. Other coordinators from other sites are trying to get me to choose their dr. but I'm content with Dr Lopez.

YAY! I got that peaceful feeling when I realized that I was choosing from among a whole group of fantastic and well qualified doctors so it was just a matter of finding the right "fit". Now if I could just get that peaceful easy feeling about booking my flight. I hate thinking about squeezing my size 28 ass (can we say ass on this forum?) into a 17 inch seat.. I'm actually considering taking the train to Boston to visit my sister for a few days and then flying out of there so I can take jet blue. They have an 18.25 inch seat.... and trust me, that extra 1.25 inch makes a big difference!

Guess I'll take a valium or something.
