  1. Im planning on March 4 also. Dr. Jesus Ortiz will be my surgeon. I am waiting on a couple of things to finalize it. Its looking like its going to happen though. I will know for sure by the middle of Feb.
  2. It's because of the placement of your liver next to your stomach. During surgery, your liver needs to be manipulated and the more fatty the liver, the more fragile. By shrinking the liver prior to surgery, it minimizes the possability of damaging it.
  3. I won't be there until Feb or March, but would love to hear your experience with Dr. Jesus Ortiz!
  4. I am planning to see him either the first week in Feb or the first week in March...please be sure to post your opinions and as much of your experience as you wanna share. I would be very grateful!
  5. If it works out like I'm hoping, I plan to be there with the younger Dr. Ortiz that same day! I haven't set my day yet, but working on it.
  6. Anybody go through alighterme and have surgery with Dr. Jesus Ortiz, not Dr. Ariel Ortiz? I haven't found much about him, besides that he's young.
  7. I can't wait to use one hand to shave both legs. I can't wait to not be the fat girl at work. I can't wait for boots that come up my calves, dresses that are not like tents and pants that are not too long (I'm 5'3). I cant wait to be able to see all the places I shave. I want to wear sundresses and strappy sandles. I want bras and panties that match. I don't want to be fearful of folding chairs, skinny chairs and other peoples furniture in general. I hate that our couch looks like it does because of me. I want to go to amusement and water parks. I am just ready to not be fat anymore.
  8. That sounds great! Where are you located?
  9. This is the first time I have posted...I plan to be with Dr. Ortiz on March 4.
