Hi, this is my first post also. My seminar date is March 20th and they said they usually are able to perform surgery within 4 weeks of that. Little scary! I'm in Colorado and looking to have it done in Pueblo. Anyone from Colorado with good advice with doctors in this state? I'm self-pay, so I'm looking for best payment options. This surgery seems to range from $13,000 - $19,000 here. I'm not exactly looking for the best deal/price. This isn't something to give to the cheapest bidder. But if surgeons are equally quilified, I'm also willing to keep the extra $4,000 or so for myself. I'm glad that there are people like THODIE55 and others that I can go through this with. This is quite the adventure! I've pretty much been heavy my whole life. I managed to lose a hundred pounds my first two years of high school, but I did it so wrong...every bad thing in the world I could do to myself to lose weight I did. And slowly gained weight from there. 22 years of 7 pounds more really adds up. Well, here's to us and the decisions that are right for us!!! Look forward to getting to know you all!
