Hey everyone...:thumbup:

It is because of this forum that i had the nerve and motivation to call and sign up for a seminar. yey! so thanks to you all!!

I'm excited, nervous, anxious, and determined.. all at once.

i have seriously tried every diet. just like everyone else. and i am at the point where i have done what i can. I just want to be healthy. i just want to run... and run.. and keep running without feeling like i am going to die. i want to ride my bike and not have to inflate the tires all the time.. and ride for more than 30 min before my butt is aching and my legs are screaming.. LOL. i have the need and want to do more... i know this will be a life changing decision. and i cannot wait.

I first called Dr Arif Ahmad (Mather Hospital, NY) because i see him on tv and read a few good stories.. but then on the radio i heard of stopobesityforlife.com. Dr Garber. he makes only 1 incision.. so i decided to go to his seminar tonight with my hubby. I can't wait.

so i guess from here.. after the seminar.. i will find out the next step. i already know my insurance covers it..:thumbdown:

I wish you all good luck!

It sounds like you're on top of your research, and that's the best way to get started. Good luck on finding the right surgeon, and I hope you find tonight's seminar very informative.

thanks!! i can't wait..
