To Suzy (Re: AMAZED BY RESULTS!)

[Guest guest]

Hi Sara, Suzy here with new login. Thank you so much for the info. I

am from Australia not the US so I don't know what they charge there.

I can claim some back here and there but I'm not going to worry about

that. I am actually talking about bringing forward rather than back -

you're right. I tend to think that I will have a similar experience

to you (touch wood) and it may not be that bad. I hate pain so I hope

that is ok, but the annoyance of not eating everyone I can live with.

And weightloss is good. I have a friend who will be the one to talk

to about this but I hope to do it myself mainly.

Anyway I am seeing a surgeon in about a month so I will get all the

info I need before I firmly decide. I know that I really want to

though!

You have helped me out with this, thanks for your input. Suzy
