thanks for your reply. I am really very confused. Did you have any complications or regrets ?? I see you've lost about 45 Ibs; congratulations . I am weighing my options and considering whether to do, and if I'll do it, will it be with Dr. Miller in Montreal or Dr. Coburn in Toronto. I read some really good reviews about Dr. Coburn, but I'm not decided yet. Any advice would be really appreciated.
