I Will be sleeved on February 17 with dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC.

Hi Melissa! I decided to go with the Canadian coordinator for my surgery. Im sooo nervous, but excited too. Where abouts ate you from? You can send me a private message if you like

I'm from Las Vegas, NV. It's a much closer jaunt for me, so I plan on driving down to San Diego with my husband. I can't believe that it's only a little over 4 weeks for me.

Have you gotten his pre-op instructions yet?

Melissa

Hey Melissa,

Yes I have the pre op and post op diets, but I wonder if theyre slightly different with the different coordinators?

Hope to see some of you floating around the Marriott while there!!
