Dr. Ortiz Jan. 15th!

I am getting so excited for my revision! This last 2 years without my Lapband after having it for 6 years has been so difficult! I'm on a constant diet with no results. I know the sleeve will still be hard work, but I can't wait to see some results! I got used to my smaller weight after losing with the band and now I feel like Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hal since I regained it! Time to unzip this fat suit! Any other Tijuana sleeves happening on the 15th?

    So Nervous. Surgery with Dr Ariel Ortiz is coming up on 1/16. I am so excited but scared. I hate surgery and the IV's but it will be the best investment I have ever made!

    I'm on Day 6 of 10 (I started a day early) and so far, so good! The first 2 or 3 days were NOT fun, but now I'm finding that I feel fairly normal! :)

    That must be the other Dr Ortiz, because Ariel Ortiz works solely out of the Obesity Control Center.

     

    Either way, good luck to you! :)
