Tomorrow is my consultation appointment with Dr. Vollinger here in Charlotte, NC. I am not sure about this...I have been overweight my entire life and I am ready for a change. I have tried everything but have not had long term results. I am so scared and unsure of myself now that I have told a few friends and they are against it. I know ultimately this is my decision and I am doing it for ME not them! But I can't help but ask myself am I just being too lazy? I don't think so! I am going to the appointment with an open mind. I have questions about the costs of tightening and follow up appointments. Luckily my insurance covers this procedure however, I don't want to be blind sided by office appointments that are costly long term. Well, only time will tell!
