Surgery 6/14! My DL to now! Best decision I've ever made in my life with thank God and my doctor, and I'm only just getting started! I had a comment from a much older lady Saying my weight loss was "unrealistic"
Girl don't come for me.. Sorry I had a great doctor and I'm sorry I have youth own my side! And followed my doctors oders to a T.. Don't judge peoples journey.. Every single person is different, so yes I lost my weight and will continue doing what I do.. And continue dusting off haters [emoji111][emoji23][emoji111]

Update: I booked my surgery today with Dr. Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center. So far I have found his staff to be really personable, informed, and encouraging. His credentials are impeccable and their surgery center appears to be top notch. The only thing I don't like is that you spend one less night in the hospital vs. Dr. Illan (at the hotel instead). But I feel good that they will take good care of me and provide good follow up care. I tried several times to reach Dr. Illan's patient coordinator with NO success - after I was approved for surgery! I even called the number on their website again. Maybe they have gotten busier than they can keep up with, maybe it's lack of give-a-darn, but that kind of situation is NOT for me. God forbid I have an issue after surgery and couldn't reach anyone. That coupled with the conversation I had initially with the patient coordinator made me realize that the extra $2000 or so was worth it. That's just bad business and lack of care. Disappointed, but excited about Dr. Ortiz!
