Hi Gang...I am getting ready to book my consult...doctors say I can be in as quick as the end of June. My problem is this, my work benefits do not cover it and the cost is 16,000. Is it worth it. I am afraid to pay this as I have a history of messing up "diets" and this isn't something I could afford to do here. I know my health is worth that, my BMI is 50.36 ...I am 26. What types of food do you eat when you are done? I know you eat slow and not much but there isn't anything to say what you eat? I have so many questions about how you feel after...Do you lose hair? I'm worried that my family wont supportmy decision to spend 16,000. on this. My fiance is great and had loved me regardless of weight, but I still have the concerns with family. Can anyone shed any light? I asked a girl at work, and she said she would do it all over again...I'm just afraid of making mistake, or ruining it somehow.
