Before I had my procedure done, I had such a way of living that didn´t really followed my dreams and hopes and aspirations. I was always insecure, and it goes without saying that my health was in such a state that I was always in and out of the hospital for problems with my respiratory system and my gastric system.
It was a long journey before I decided I wanted to go through with the surgery. I had to make the decision for myself, for my own benefit and thinking about my future, what I wanted and how I wanted to continue to live my life, if I wanted to keep feeling bad about my appearance or if I wanted to be pro active and make a change for the better, to take action, to take matters into my own hands and do what was best for me and start doing it by doing research about the different procedures and doctors, looking at forums like this one, and making my decision.
I chose Dr. Frayre because he ha such an expertise and good history, and a good team to work with, and most of all, the care that he gives to his patients is what makes the difference of it all.
My life has totally change and I´m really happy about it.
