I used ALIGHTERME, Dr E. Ortiz on sept 4 th 2014. My BMI was 36.5. I'm down 24 lbs,feel great and have had zero complications. I paid $4400.00 which included hotel, transportation and all liquids and Jello I could eat. The company was very professional, everyone spoke. English and the Drs. Were fantastic. I have zero regrets!

I wrnt to A Lighter Me, Dr. Ortiz Sept 4th. It was a great experience. They picked me up from the airport and after that took care of every detail from hotel to surgery. All I had to do was show up. Zero complications, 3 weeks out, 20 lbs down and feel fantastic.

I'm going to ALM, Dr. E. Ortiz sept 4th.

Join us on Facebook. We are called the sept 2014 sleevers. From Sept 4th to the 7th there are 5 of using going to TJ!

How have you been feeling on the liquid? I'm into day 2 pre op. Nervous for the weekend! Really going to miss my red wine!

Final paperwork has been sent, certified cheque is done, pre p starts on Thursday, yikes , 16 days and counting!

I'm going to ALM on Sept 4th. Dr E Ortiz. Used air miles to fly to San Diego on sept 3rd. Just getting really nervous!

So glad to see these posts! Last night while I was falling asleep I had convinced myself that I could do this on my own. I have failed every diet I have ever been I and honestly I have spent well over the $4400.00 cost of my surgery in weight loss program and supplements. I know i don't carry as much weight as others but my struggle is the same. My knees are swollen and painful, bending over to pick something off the floor is tough, I have a difficult time doing my toenails, I snore horribly, sleep is difficult at times. I'm tired of feeling tired. I'm pretty healthy otherwise but know If I don't arrest this weight problem I will soon start to suffer worse! My last reason I want to lose weight is really vain but honestly, I want to feel sexy again! My self esteem is really low right now and though he doesn't say anything, I'm sure he's wondering if I'll ever want sex again! Start my pre op Aug 21st. I'm already doing most of it except still enjoying a glass of wine. That goes in a few days:( lord give me strength!

I wanted to be sleeved late July but with our schedules We couldn't get away till sept 4 th. I'm so envious of those on the losers bench I wish I had bit the bullet and gone of my own July 27th and been done by now! Sept 4th cannot come soon enough. I wished I'd looked into this 15 years ago! My job is suffering from my constant OBSESSION with my sleeve! None of my coworkers even know what I'm up to! BTW, I a straight commission sales person! I'm not making any money right now cause all I think about is this damn sleeve!

I think you really have to ask yourself if you are in this for the long haul? If you can cheat within the first month or so is this going to end up as another failed weight loss attempt? For me I know I have to push the boundries. I have decided that I have to listen and trust what I am told as apparently I haven't succeed do my own. I have pushed every rule that was put in front of me from every weight loss program I have ever tried. And guess what? I have never succeeded! What a surprise. I plan on following the rules, do as I'm told because I have never lost and maintained a healthy weight. I'm putting my faith in the pros now....

If you mix protein powder with hot soup do you lose any nutrients?

Sorry, I didn't see you were looking for plastics. Mine is for a sleeve. We have companies that do everything, book surgery, flights hotels for surgery from Canada but we can also chose to book everything ourselves. I'm saving over $500.00 by cutting out the middle man and booking my surgery and flight on my own.

I'm going to Dr. E. Ortiz, Sept 4 th. I from Canada, just outside Edmonton. I chose Dr Ortiz because of the reviews I read. He seems to be very well respected and a lighter me has a great reputation. His price was also really great. $4400.00
