  4. So guess what people!!!! Paperwork has been submitted and faxed MARCH 7th i am scheduled to get sleeved!!! I cannot believe this!!!!! It is unreal!!!!! And the most exciting thing about this is that my husband is out of town working!! By the time he comes back I'll be hopefully a lot of pounds lighter!!!!! He won't even recognize me!!! Lol I'm glad I went through with this and so far OCC AND COORDINATOR LORI HAVE BEEN SO WONDERFUL TO ME!!!!
  5. Thanks everybody it is so awesome to have a lot of you to help and support me as I begin my sleeve journey!!! I will definitely start my vitamins and also I need to schedule my flight!! I'm so excited!!!!!!
  6. Well at least celebrate cut my expenses in half. Enspira was $30 for a months supply. Now do u know exactly which one to get from celebrate? I'm leaning more on that brand and it is a bariatric supplement.
  7. So Andrea the nutritionist from OCC had me look up the website for their Enspira products in order to pre-order my vitamins and prep-op, post-op packages!! Wow! Expensive!! What can I use to substitute these products!! I want to start on the vitamins ASAP! I've been taking others for example folic, vitamin c, Iton, and a women's one Aday. But for this specific surgery I want to be ready!!!!! Help!! I want to purchase all this stuff ASAP!! Planned surgery date 'Marxh 8th
  8. Sounds great thanks!! I just hate the waiting and nerves!!
  9. I'll be going 3/7 which is the start of my spring break!!!!!! Excited
  10. K so I'm trying to figuring out the best time to schedule my flight. What would y'all say the best time is? Getting it the night before surgery or the morning of? I'm flying from Houston.
  11. Thanks so much!!! Ok guys got my passport almost taken care of!!! I am super excited!!! Now the vitamins? Which ones do I take? The nutritionist told me to Order the ones online. Should I?
  12. Anybody getting sleeved with Dr. Ortiz (OCC) march 7th? Need a sleeve buddy, I'm going solo!! I can't wait super excited!!!!!????
  13. They have u starting already? I am scheduled to go March and not yet have I started. Checking in weekly wow!! Well j guess we should both get in too of it then. Are u taking your vitamins already? I just got a link from Andrea the nutritionist to buy some online. Enspira I believe. I'm still confused also. Well it's always good to start early!!
  14. OMG that's Awesome!! How do u feel!!!! SoCallMomOfFour
  15. Thanks so much!! It's tough right now knowing that I need to change my eating habits even now to lose weight before surgery:( That truly means a lot to me to know that I will be in great hands, like I said before I will be going solo and yes nerves are kicking in but i still have a month to prepare myself!! Thanks so much!! I just now need to find me a buddy to be with:)
  16. Jaynedeath where did you buy your shakes at? Just curious I was about to purchase the Esperia until I seen your post:)
  17. Alright guys just talked to Dr.Ortiz yesterday!!!!! So excited he sounds so sweet on the phone. With a matter of emails back and forth with Lori I was able to have Dr. Ortiz call me in between surgeries to answer any of my questions:) let me tell you!!! He answered everything!!! He knows his STUFF!! Can't wait ladies will be purchasing the pre-op supplements. Just a little confused on how many to buy!! Or if anyone knows of a cheaper route but then again I want to do if the right way to make sure that I am physically ready for surgery. I am reaching out for March 7th to take off that way, would love a buddy, I will be going solo:/ but again talking with Dr. Ortiz it just reassured me that I was making the right choice!!! Super excited!!!!!
