You must do this for YOU. You are coming into a new phase of life when one realizes how much life is really change.
You will be a new person who focuses on you and your remaining life. You will still be able to eat, of course, just more selectively and special. food will still be there, you just need a little help to eat less, especially at one time and you won't feel hungry...but full!
Take the leap! I am scheduled in MX with Dr. Ortiz as my BMI is quite low and I am self pay.
Carpe diem and all the best!
