  1. I had my surgery Dec 4 2013 With Dr E Ortiz with A lighter me. I did alot of reserch and they where the right team for me!!! I am down 70 pounds and feel great no problems at all. 15 pounds to go till I reach my goal. This as been the best change of life stye I could have made. I went by myself and felt safe at all times. Marriott was nice and hospital was small, with very good care. I wished I had done this years ago.

  5. my surgery was at 2:30 but they have all hours of the day and night. You will be fine they give you Ivs and I was never hungry. Take some tea that you like and mio drops as those really hepled. Take some warm clothes as the heat is not really good there. As for the remote in the hosp room for the heater.
