I met yesterday with the surgeon, psychologist, and nutritionist and really connected/felt comfortable with all three, so I have finaly decided on the Scottsdale Bariatric Center here in Arizona. They answered all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid, and really made me feel like a person and not like a dollar sign/number as I have experienced in the past with other surgeons. I meet with my PCP doc tonight to start on the 6-month medically supervised weightloss diet and and really excited about being on my journey! I have decided to get the gastric bypass surgery as I do not enjoy doctor visits or needles, so I think the after-care for the lapband would be more than what I could handle. Just a personal choice...plus I have 140 pounds to lose and wnat to do that as soon as possible. I know it is going to be a lot of work, but just thought I would share my excitement...I am on my way!

Congratulations!
