My Journey from Band to Sleeve Revision

Entries in this blog

This is why we lose weight

First, let me apologize if this post is too graphic, I just think its a fabulous way to educate you on a sleeve surgery. When I was at OCC the first week of December I had the amazing opportunity to observe several surgeries. One of them was a gastric sleeve surgery. We know that the sleeve surgery has fabulous results. Our OCC Sleeve patients get results similar to a gastric bypass surgery without all the risks and complications. And this is why...look at what is removed during this surgery. Th

Awesome Sauce!

What a great week I had! Last week I got to spend 3 days at OCC, observe surgeries, learn more about the amazing advancements in surgical technique happening at OCC, meet with Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Martinez and Lucia, spend time with the great staff there, record some videos...and the best part, the awesome sauce, I got to meet face to face with patients. I rarely get to do that, and I got to do that in spades this time. I was able to meet an entire family of patients, some that have already had

Babies after weightloss surgery (no! I'm not pregnant!)

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in awhile. We have been really busy at OCC and I've been really busy at home. Graduations, end of school, water polo season starting. Crazy train - woot woot!   I recently read this article about weight loss surgery and pregnancy and long term health of the child, and breaking the cycle of obesity in a family.   I had my weight loss surgery after I was done having kids, so I can't say I have first hand knowledge of this subject BUT... (and that's a big but) I

Cheap, thin, and faux tanned... a retail therapy story

So, I had another very successful shopping trip to Goodwill this weekend. I got a pair of capri's, a pair of shorts, and 3 summer blouses for under $20. I also delivered another huge bag of clothes for donation. Its strange to be picking through through the clothes on the rack and see things you recognize from your closet, but in a good way! Sometimes you think, why did I hold onto this so long? Did that ACTUALLY fit me at one point? or the most common - what was I thinking? lol But anyway... it

My daughter's wedding... and not being afraid of the camera!

So... my daughter got married last month. It was a beautiful, intimate, very romantic and meaningful wedding. We had it at church in our smaller sanctuary - about 75 guests, we all sat at the reception tables for the wedding. My dad said a prayer. We had dancing and a dessert bar and a lovely cake baked by our friend and beautiful decorations (anybody want tips about a wedding on a budget... ask me!). Our brilliant photographer donated her time to us because she loves my daughter so much...

Four, 4, vier, fire, cuatro, chetiri, quattro, yon, quatre... whatever language, its a size FOUR!

Four... no matter what language you say it in... I just fit into a pair of size FOUR jeans... yes, me! I love thrift store, bargain hunting. Its a huge thrill to me to find something that i love for less then $10. From my amazing, full length wool coat for $8.88, to my wool peacoat for $6.88 to my Ralph Lauren cords for $3.33 or my Stuart Weitzman pumps for $4.50... I love a bargin, but I have to admit, pulling those 4's off the endless jean rack and looking at them and thinking "no way" - to th

My Journey From Band To Sleeve Revision - From Someone Who Works With Dr. O

I thought I had already posted a blog over here, but I can't find it so I thought I'd start again.   I had my band to sleeve revision on 4/16/12 after having the band since 6/2006 and I haven't regretted it for a minute! Just as a disclaimer - I do work with Dr. Ortiz from Obesity Control Center - he was my band surgeon back in 2006 and of course I wouldn't have chosen any other doctor to perform my surgery. I choose him as my surgeon before I started working with him. In fact I asked to
