I am having it done by Dr. Elias Ortiz w/ ALM

My name is Nancy. Driving is a good alternative and gas is pretty cheap stil. I won't drive if you have the extra time. I go back to work the day after I get home. I sit at a desk and use my brain all day so they said as long as I don't lift anything I should be ok. Good luck on your adventure. Sending you love and light for your journey. Maybe ask spirit to make it a graceful and easy journey and see what happens. I gave been turning this whole process over and the doors have been opening. "Would"

I started my pre-op diet yesterday. It wasn't so bad. I am hungry though. I just need to find things to occupy my time and stop thinking about what I can't eat. Looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, that will help pas the time.

I just paid for it. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. It is coming up fast. I'm so excited. Natoshia78 congratulations! Is it a long flight? I always get an aisle seat, I am claustrophobic. I know I can't get out. I live in Southern California so I am driving to the border.

I haven't yet but I was told by the time I get back I should be able to start taking them. So probably about 5 days. But I'm going to talk to the Dr. And see what he says.

I ended up buying the bariatric advantage Ultra chewables and calcium citrate chewables for the 1st month then I'm going to switch to the pills.

May 2nd for me! Getting excited. Start my pre-op diet in 11 days.

Let us know how it goes. Sending love and light to you.

Please let me know how things went.

Thank you for sharing your story. It has put my mind completely at rest. I know if others can do this so can I. I start my adventure on May 1st.

I'm getting really excited. 37 days. May 2nd. I'm so glad this is here to read about people and their stories. It makes me know I'm making the right decision and I'm not alone. Thanks for your posts everyone! ????

I was looking at Vitamins for post-op and I am overwhelmed with how many brands and formulas. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm Nancy, I'm from So. Cal and am 45. My surgery date is May 2nd with Dr. E. Ortiz at ALM Stats 5'3" 215lbs Goal 115

Mine is scheduled for May 2nd with Dr. E. Ortiz at ALM

Thank you Rocky. I am going to try cutting my portion sizes now, so when it all happens I won't be so out of sorts. My roommate had the surgery last year here in the States and is going to help guide me on portion size. I am a volume eater.

I'm so excited, I scheduled my date with Dr. Ortiz at ALM. I never thought this was ever going to happen. I've had it as a goal for a few years and was having trouble with my insurance company. Well, I'm skipping the insurance and paying out of my pocket. I have been reading the board for a few weeks and I know I'm making the right decision for me. Happy Journeys everyone.

I have just scheduled my surgery with Dr. Ortiz for May 2nd. I am getting excited. So many of my friends and family have gotten the surgery and have had wonderful results.
