Congradulations! I am so excited for you. I am currently waiting myself to meet Dr. Needleman. But I personally know two people who have had Dr. Needleman perform the surgery and they have both lost over 100+ pounds apiece. I feel your in the best hands possible. Both of my friends have nothing but positive things to say about the doctor and about the surgery. I know that you are probably nervous and excited, I'll keep you in my prayers until the surgery is over with. Keep on smiling and I'll e-mail you a Victoria's Secret catalogue!!
