I am having a VSG on January 19, 2016 at the Obesity Control Center with Dr Ariel Ortz.

Wondering if there are any others sharing my surgical date? Let's connect and then meet in person at the Center.

I know I will need support and encouragement and I am sure you will too. We can exchange emails and possibly phone numbers when we get to the Center on the date of surgery. This way we can stay connected and help each other out when things are slow or tough or emotional.

I am 62, 5'1" and currently on pre-op diet.

I had my surgery at OCC back in September, 2014. If you have any questions or concerns about the experience, feel free to PM me!

Your weight loss is so inspiring. My nephew had surgery at OCC in June this year. He has lost over 100# in 6 months! Of course, he is a guy! He has answered so many of my questions to date. I am sure before I go for surgery I may have more.

Congratulations on your WL journey.
