I am planning in using Dr. E. Ortiz at Mi Hospital. Do several surgeons share this hospital?

How did it go?

Realizing that Jenny Craig cant keep the weight off...and costs as much as a Mexican sleeve.

Good use of gently used clothing

Lol. Boobs in another zip code.

the best way to start is start with some good underwear and bras that fit and maybe some Spanx. go ahead and watch TLC's What Not to Wear. no grandma jeans. no white briefs. we want sexy stuff now. Checkout the Christmas ads. Goid luck

Of course (duh)

You tipped Dr. Ortiz? Wow. Not American

Trying not to pay now. They would rather pay for a heart attack and stroke both silent killers

My daughters shrink suggests fish oil. He told us that if you freeze the capsules it helps to get rid of the fish burps.

So glad it went well for you. I dont understand why they wont treat obesity as aggresively as a stroke or heart disease. They can all kill you.

Worked in a Bariatric Unit!!!!!

Hi. Ive been a bsn since 1980. I worked Picu for 10 years. Some registry. Then school nurse x 18 years. Nicer schedule with kids. I bailed out for early retirement as finally diagnosed bpd emerged. Having poor cognitive skills and even poorer memory. Waiting on ssdi approval. Five hosp in last year. Ugh. now i want to take care of me and lose it and make it stay away.

Hi. Has anyone heard of mercycares approval rate or if it takes six months of physician supervised wls consults. I have been waiting two years for my ssdi. Still havent been approve. So I'm so frustrated waiting that I just want to go to mexico and be done.

I'm planning a trip to TJ. I'm going with my bff who is also a RN. It will be a girls trip. Mom, daughter and husband will not know the plan. I don't want drama.

I have started the process through A Lighter Me. Good to hear that things went well for you. What were your thoughts on Dr. Ortiz? It seems to me that the doctors transfer around a lot.

Depressed in a size 8. I'll pop a lithium and suck it up

I got a ssa only lawyer cuz I can't afford to lose. We are down to foid stamps and living with my mom. It is two years this month. Medicaid just gave me insurance so its hopeful that ssdi will be granted ( yes MY money will be given back to me. Old FICA)

Sounds kinda naughty

I dont want to wait six months. Wouldn't six month worth of results be better. I'm bipolar. Stable but still. Not 40 bmi. Makes no sense to gain to lose. Psych eval..really? Two sleep studies as if I sleep differently? And after all that fight insurance and maybe approved? I want to Git er Done.

The cognitive behavioral guru is Dr. Burns. I got his book and found that most of the way I'm thinking is wrong...specifically black and white thinking. You can probably read excerpts

Water aerobics ?

I'm 5'10" too. Still obese only more places to hide it. once I did Jenny Craig and got to 145. Ppl daid I was too skinny. No. You are used to look at me fat. Sigh. I also calculated that Jenny Craig cost as much as a Mexican Gastric Sleeve. Intetesting huh?

Be careful. There are two Dr. Ortiz. Dr. Ariel Ortiz from OOC and Dr.Luis Ortiz. (newbie, so don't quote me)
