Dr. E Ortiz! Through a lighter me April 15th I'm pumped!

Cassandra, I had surgery with Dr. Ortiz on Nov 8. I had a great experience with him, the nurses. Abraham, all of the folks at A Lighter Me! My hospital stay was uneventful and I've healed nicely. I wish you the best of luck in your recovery, weight loss journey and the road to your new life!

I just booked my surgery with Dr Ortiz at OCC for April 11! It can't come soon enough.

Hey SCMoF!

I'm scheduled for 4/7 with Dr. Ortiz and completely agree that it cannot come soon enough.

I am hoping for 4/14. Who is your surgeon? When are you going? Which hotel? Which hospital? I am going to go by myself. I would love to have a buddy.

I'm in Las Vegas - you?

Oh, you are so on my wavelength! :)

Sorted through all my clothes this weekend and organized them by size. Pretty much a nerd, but I don't care. I'm just so stoked that I won't be in my fat clothes for too much longer.

More worried about making it through the pre op diet right now. At least without killing anyone........

Haha! Yeeeeeah... I'm a bit apprehensive about that myself. If you hear anything on the news about a chick in MN on a hungry homicidal rampage the week after next, it's just me on the pre-op diet. ;)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
