Are you going alone? How much of a deposit did you have to put down if you don't mind me asking...

am not happy about the "alone" but it is what it is. Most of my family is east coast, I am west coast and friends work....so, alone, it is.

So happy that you have chosen Dr. Ortiz!! Southern Oregon makes a great point about the plastic surgery! Dr. Ortiz partners with a plastic surgeon that is excellent... or so I hear.. :) He actually practices at the OCC Clinic. They actually offered to do cosmetic procedures while I was there for my surgery. I said no at first because I wanted to focus on my surgery and recovery but I sooooo wish would have done it now cause recovery was a breeze!!! They have a stem cell plasma procedure for your face and from what I have seen it's a complete reversal of the aging process! I am soooo going back for some "work" next year!! I think I will need a Tummy Tuck eventually and maybe even a boob lift but I don't have any children yet and I want to make sure that I wait until that chapter of my life is over before I have makeover.. :)

So exited for you!!! You will have a great experience!!!!

Don't sweat the alone part. I went alone & TBH, it all seemed to happen so quickly that I didn't miss having anybody there. That and you will meet others there

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
