Hi Nahyeera,

I searched for the right hospital and have fallen in love with Memorial Hospital in Miramar. They have the best service. I have been there for the seminar, ultrasound, and upper GI in preparation for my surgery. The service is the best. I am having surgery with Dr. Choi. He is really nice and his staff is great. My entire process took 4 weeks. I have been struggling with my weight for 10 years. I am ready to get rid of it once and for all. I am nausea and am sick to my stomach and I am just on the clear liquid diet. Your mind maybe ready, but your body might have a different say, so be prepared. Good luck

WOW!!! I don't rememer but did I mention Dr. Choi?? Because that is who I want to do my procedure...lol that's funny!!! I am trying to think if I mentioned him...lol

I think I am already falling in love...

I was referred to him, actually my husband was...he has chronic arthritis in his knees and his doc suggested Peter Choi...I researched him and came up with Micheal Choi but it is the same person. I am gonna do it with my husband...I will keep everyone posted on our results
