Thank you for the support and kind words.
My wife Dante' was having a hard time with some of the comments she read in response to the article on Momlogic.com. I had to explain to her that these people obviously are not the brightest as some of their comments were made without reading the article as most were convinced he had gastric bypass.
For those of you who don't know about us, Not only has Dante' & Joey had surgery @ OCC on 7/2/08, but Dante's sister, me (her husband) had it @ OCC on 8/14/08 and now my step-mom had it @ OCC on 10/8/08. (No this isn't a paid advertisement for OCC, in fact we have not been paid a single penny for any of the articles we have done)
Between Dante', Joey & myself, we have lost a combined weight of over 150 lbs thanks to Dr Ortiz. (This includes pre-surgery weight loss).
For those who missed the first two articles in the San Diego Union/Tribune:
Sunday 9/21/08: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/health/...z1n21risks.html
Monday 9/22/08: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/health/...1n22report.html
This just goes to show how uninformed people are and how much they judge a book by its cover.
Don't let them discourage you in the positive choices we all have made.
Mike, Dante' & Joey
