Hi Tania here

Sleeve booked in for April 4 & would like to join a thread and FB ( email below) with others starting the same around that time.

Was booked for Band however after further research have switched to the Sleeve. Seems like less maintenance ( fills , visits etc) and a more normal or natural outcome, just me , well hopefully less of me, just with a smaller stomach. No foreign bits inside me, and too be honest food getting 'stuck' with the band doesn't appeal.

Recovery & healing is what I am most anxious about, I see the chat on here as well about the possible grief post op of losing a good chunk of a body part & I understand that. Reminds me to book in for regular shrink sessions to help me with the change & adjustment. Love to hear from you Tania

Can't wait!

Anyone that had been to occ and dr Ortiz...did you purchase a spirometer and take it with you? The paperwork says to do so but I am wondering if that is necessary. My surgery date is April 15th and I hope that the flight home is ok for me. It will be a long flight and I don't want to be in pain for the entire trip. I guess it's one of the prices you have to pay if your traveling to Mexico for the surgery.

Got you guys invited, check your email for the invite!
