I loved to read your story, I am leaving next Wednesday to do the same thing!

Pandashazz, I wish you could reply to a message, I have so many questions for you with regards to the long haul flight. Did you take the mechanical boots? I am worried about the dvt prevention. I am also in WA

I am about to schedule my surgery with Dr Ramos Kelly, I felt very comfortable, however now I dont know what to think. I know there are people who make fake accounts on forums to put down other doctors, however I am just seeking the truth? Please has anyone had Dr Kelly this year who is real? and how was your experience?

I think it is extremely hypocritical with some of the comments on the forum. The struggle to lose weight or even stop gaining weight is the same whether you need to lose 30 pounds or 230 pounds. Perhaps the difference is that a person "ONLY" needing to lose 30 pounds does not give up excersizing, watching every morsel they consume and actively try to lose the weight every hour of the day they are awake. Rather than those who cant be bothered so dont do anything at all . If at the time of the surgeon offering to do the operation, you were told that when you reached a 29 bmi you will have to have the band removed (or sleeve if it was possible), as you can do the rest on your own - just excersize and eat healthy, would you? Would you say, yes, I have achieved a bmi of 29 so there is now no reason for me to have access to this tool - I think NOT
