I have never been in a better place in my life. Before I met Dr. Soto, I researched and met with other doctors. But, when I me Dr. Soto, my decision was made. He listened to all my concerns and he answered all my questions and then some. He prepared me in ways I didn't think to even consider. After meeting with him a few times, I was so confidant that my recovery would be as easy as possible. He gave me tips for how to plan my first week home. Recovery was not as bad as people had told me it would be. My sister said, and I quote "either he is a miracle worker or you have a great pain threshold" . I was in recovery 4pm on Friday. Saturday afternoon I was walking around my kitchen making coffee for my sisters. LOL It has been a year now, almost to the day and I can't express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Soto and Marisela for their positive energy and experience. I am in the best place in my life right now and have no regrets. It wasn't about how I looked externally, but how I felt internally. Now I feel so much better about me and the journey I began nine years ago. I went from a couch potato to obsessing over Pilates. It was the finale to my transformation, inside and out. Any regrets...just wish my mom could see me now, she would surely be happy for me. When my journey began I would tell her what I would do if...she would just say, let's wait and see. I think she was afraid I would cave and fail as I had done so many times before. But, I did it and Dr. Soto made it possible to complete me. There really are no words for the way I feel about who I am today. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel if you are willing to take the journey. Thank you Dr. Soto and Marisela for everything. Til we meet again...
