Hey guys, sorry took so long to long in. the surgery went very well. Just had one complication. One part of my stomach lining was will thick. Other than that no problems, I was out in about 2 hrs. The last thing I remeber is getting rolled out of the pre op area and nothing else after that. When I got rolled into the room, I was not in pain from the surgery but more from the air they put inside your stomach. I got to go home the next day, I was a little sore but did not have to take the pain meds for the pain. I did take the liquid medication to just help me sleep a little.

If your are thinking about getting the surgery, DO IT! I am the biggest baby and I came out just fine. I was so impressed with Dr. Boghossian, I am going to ask him if I may volunteer speak at the upcoming meetings for people thinking about getting the surgery. Thanks again for all the support and now it my turn to return the favor!

Respectfully,

Joe Lopez
