Hi Leslie! I thought it would be a lot more difficult to keep this a secret but so far so good. I had surgery 01/15 and lost 10 lbs pre op and have lost another 12 since then. I'm on to solid foods as of this week. I have noticed NO restriction whatsoever BUT my willpower and self control has been surprisingly high so I've continued to lose. I run 5 times per week and am working on the couchto5K plan right now. I'm hoping to run my 1st 5K by April. It has been the best decision for me. And I have so much support on here as well as the OCC support forum that I feel I am not alone at all. Good luck to you, and let me know if you want me to refer you to Dr Ortiz. He was amazing! They said if you use my name, I get a free fill.
So hook me up! haha! Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. -
Hello! Dr. Mario Almana Reyes...
Pinkbetty replied to Pinkbetty's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi! I need to renew my passport, so it will be sometime for me in March. I know that he is associated with Dr. Bettencourt, and people have not nice things to say about him on here. I also have read some infections and whatnot have occured. One lady spoke about a punctured bowel that was swept under the rug by their organization.. I'm just praying everything goes ok. You'll find people that have been very happy with him. I miss Jo Ann, my Dr. Kuri coordinator. She was wonderful. Anyways, good luck to you!! -
Hi! I've never posted on a board before. I have been going back and forth about the lapband for over a year, and at this point, my only regret is that I haven't done it yet! I was signed up and ready to go with Dr. Kuri, but I never went through with it. Dr. Almanza Reyes has such a crazy deal right now that is hard to pass up. I know, I know. I'd MUCH rather go to Kuri for his expertise.. Anywhoo, is anyone else going to Dr. Almanza Reyes antime soon? I'd love to speak with some of you. Have an amazing day! I am concerned about infection because his rate for that does seem high.
