Hello, Ive been a large person my whole life and had to put up with the usual pains of growing up as a fat kid, cant find the right clothes, other kids called you names... well you know the story. My dad died at the age of 50, he was a big guy too. I turned 40 this year and decided i need to make a change in my life. I have a couple of friends that have had WLS and ive been researching it for many years now. After talking with my doctors I decided to go sit in on a seminar. That that the start of a whole new me. I met with Anthony Gonzalez at the Miami Hope center. They started me thru the process of seeing the Nut, Psych evaluation and a letter from my Primary Doc. Well they submitted the paper work to the insurance and in 5 days had an approval. My date is Oct 22, 2009 Its a start to a new beginning and im very excited.
