I'm with Ortiz too on May 21st!

Oh please join the support group on FB. It has lots of people who have done the surgery and what to expect. And, let me know how things go. I have been doing their pre-op plan and just wishing now that I would have scheduled it sooner. I am tired of waiting. Good luck and keep in touch.

What part of California are you from? I'm from Texas but will stay in San Diego for about a week post surgery to kind of relax and heal while enjoying the sites of the city.

I am in Los Angeles County. Encino to be specific (West Valley). I am going to be staying at a hotel in TJ (a nice one) that is a part of the package.

Yes, I will be staying in the Marriott in TJ until Monday the 19th. Then my husband and I will stay in San Diego at a little house until the 27th of June....thought I'd get some relaxation in before flying back to Texas. Do you know of any of the sites to visit in San Diego that are really worth doing?

Hmm...I honestly can't recommend anything I am about 2 and a hal hours away. Sorry.

May I ask why you are having a revision. I thought I was set on the sleeve but I wonder if at my BMI if it will give me the amount of weight loss that I want. I have a BMI of 51. I wonder if it is truly the correct procedure for me. Fine time for me to be questioning this!

Having revision because i didnt ever get down to my goal weight and severe acid reflux. I lost a total of 93 lbs in about 8 or 9 months. Slowly started putting back on weight about 2 years after and also had a baby in may 2015. Have regained about 40 lbs so hoping the mgb will get me where i was trying to be.

Yes this is what I am afraid will happen to me! I need to lose 150 lbs to get to my goal. I dont know if the sleeve can get me there.

I have seen a lot of people that are having to have the revision after the sleeve due to inadequate weight loss or severe reflux. BUT there are also alot of people who have had major success with the sleeve. Its just a personal choice. The bypass is a better deterrent from going back to eating the junky, sugary and fattening foods that got us here to start with. Lol. I know thats what i need. Lol. I need something that will force me to change my habits and keep me in line.
