Anyone with Dr. Choi in Miami?

I am hoping to have my Sleeve done in April with Dr. Choi at Larkins Hosp.

Kinda scared, but need to have this done... I am not looking forward to the post op diet, and pain involved with surgery,
but need to loose 50-70 lbs.... I have tried many things, and only get bigger every year.

Wondering if anyone has anything to say about Dr. Choi..... thanks

I am officially sleeved... Had the procedure a few weeks ago... its going ok.. 21 lbs down. eating maybe 2-3 small bites once to twice a day. Hoping the lbs will continue to melt off, and I will be able to eat just a little more with out feeling pain in chest and tummy. Good luck to everyone with upcoming dates!

1 month and 1 week out.. im officially 30 lbs down! it feels great, a super accomplishment.... but I still can only eat 3 bites once to twice a day, and get air in my chest which kinda hurts till it makes its way back up.

41 lbs to go to get to my goal of 145!! can't wait. I got a friend at work who loves me, but gave me the finger when I told her I was 30 lbs down (she was kidding- her way of telling me shes a little jealous) but I told her, it doesn't come without sacrifice. just gotta keep your eye on the goal, and not concentrate on the drawbacks.
