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!

    Exciting! I'm 2/11 so looks like a few of us are there are the same time. Let us know how it goes! One of the other threads got me thinking about the tipping situation. Who, what, when!

    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! :)

    At mi hospital

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

     

    Either way, good luck to you! :)
