123crod 170 Posted July 28, 2009 I am hoping to lose 100 lbs also. I have had no trouble at all so far. I really like my Surgeon Dr. Spivak in Houston. Make sure you find a Doctor you like it makes all the difference I think. Since I suffer from bad anxiety I went to seminar on Saturday and had surgery on Monday morning. I was self pay so it worked out that way. I did not want a lot of time to think about it since I already made up my mind and did a lot of research beforehand. It kinda shocked my husband when I schedule for that soon but he was up for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
