Raven, I look forward to it! Perhaps you can go on some walks with me in the day or two before your surgery. I would love to visit with you and make a sleeve buddy!

I understand how you feel. I have been doing research for the past 3 months before deciding. And interestingly enough, my top 2 choices were Ortiz and Aceves as well! Personally, choosing Dr. Ortiz just felt like the right decision for me. Everytime I considered it, Ortiz just felt more comfortable of a choice for me. My husband isn't worried about me getting the sleeve, which I think takes a lot of worry from me because he isn't worrying about it too. I really hope that you can make a comfortable decision for yourself. I will be there October 4th. Good luck deciding!

Woohoo for another October 4th-er! Where are you going to have your procedure done?

I am so glad you are doing better! I really appreciate your input. Keep updating me as your healing progresses. I am scheduled for October 4th.

Barb, I definitely will be looking for you! Too bad we couldn't be there together, it would be nice to have a buddy. Good luck!

I am booked for October 4th as well! Mine will be with Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. Anyone else going to be there???

Jersey, I am so sorry you are having such a hard time with this. I worry that I may feel the same way. I feel super excited, but anxious too. Please keep me updated on your progress. And good luck.

Cherbear, I appreciate your response. As I was reading it I just felt like a lot more calm about a decision to use the OCC. I had a friend go there and had a good experience, but as I have researched there is just so much to consider and so many places. I just want to choose the right place for me and I think I am leaning more and more towards the OCC. Thank you so much.
