Hey everybodygbbhhh.

I don't know why my post didn't show up. Anyway I am 3 days out and doing really well. I get my drain out today and have been shopping in TJ.

 

I will give a much more in depth review when I get further out but I wanted to see if you all had questions about Dr Ortiz and Alighterme. I am here to give you an honest opinion.

Hi. I'm considering scheduling my sleeve with dr Ortiz in February. Please let me know how your stay and all goes...

I am having my surgery with Dr ortiz Dec 4th, any tips on what to take with me. How did everything go any problems. What was your starting weight , and how much have you lost.

I have breezed through this so far. No side effects or complications. I'm 1 week out and doing fine at work. I forget I had anything done. I'm able to drink my shakes and will move up the ladder to food when it's time! I started the 2 week preop diet at 296lbs. I weighed 264 this morning so that's exciting.

 

Pack light!!!! You can't lift over 15lbs so you don't want a heavy suitcase at the airport. I just carried on a small bag. Bring gas x strips. They melt on your tongue and really help after surgery. Don't bring a lot of cash but I recommend some. Abraham will take you shopping and not everywhere takes visa but most do.

 

You will be close to Wal Mart so you can buy gauze there and GNC is next door. They have good protein drinks in individual sizes in their fridge.

 

If you need anything at all Abraham will get it for you. They have great service. Just keep in mind. The first 24hrs is a little tough but after that it gets much better and you will be moving around and feeling good. Ortiz is a perfectionist and his patients do well. I am still talking to many of them and they are all doing really well. Feel free to ask questions, Bob

Thanks Bob!

So glad your doing well. Thanks for the tips two weeks to go, start my diet tomarrow. Did you tip the driver? Cant wait to hear how you are doing.

I did tip at the end of the trip bc he did a great job. I'm doing really well. Adjusting to my sleeve and figuring out how it feels to be hungry, full, etc...
