i have been on the pacific bariatric website, nice video, would like to hear from others who had surgery done at pacific bariatric @ mercy hospital, in san diego, did you like your surgeon ? we will be going to an orientation class on nov. 1, 2006 @ 5:30 i am looking forward to meeting them. my counceler at positive choice (nancy) is the best she is teaching us so much about ourselves and what to expect she is my guardian angel, so many wonderful people in our support group there too ! so nice to have a new friend who understands how i feel.
