I had 18 inches removed. Best decision I have ever made. Changed my life for the better. Make sure you find a laproscopic surgeon. I was back to work in 3 weeks, I could have gone back in two.......

Thanks everybody.... I think I will pay them like $5 a month until I pay them off... Slow play it.... Thoughts?...
