it seems that every procedure on here thst talked about comes up as 50/50 good and bad expierencies it makes it so hard to decide from zoom whiteing to plication which I am haveing done Jan 19 it seems we all want to start a new in as many ways as we can.But so many different opinions dont make it easy lol God Bless all

Same here all the same feeling just joined today with my first post , Jan 19th my surgery mixed posts making me nervous ..But everyones different as we know . Hope my life long struggle will finally end , up down up down , Was alittle taken back having learned not FDA approved. Couple posts freaked me about not looseing weight and pain and much discomfort hope many can put me at ease Good Luck Fred
