  1. Hi there, doing well. Thanks for all the encouragement. I hope you are doing well, take care!

  2. Hi A. How are you doing. I lost your email address so please send it to me. I hope all is well. I am doing great. Lost 24 pounds in total (before and after surgery) No pain or issues. I hope you are doing well, keep in touch!

  3. I had my surgery on November 1st, everything went well except they tried to release me when I was not ready to go to the hotel yet (still vomiting until I got out the door) Dr. Ortiz came the next day and spoke to everyone about my situation and it seemed to get resolved. Dr. Oritz is a highly skilled surgeon and overall I am happy with my experience. I have lost 24 pounds to date; however still on full liquids and hope to move to mushies next week. No real issues now, just enjoying the re-le...

  5. Sorry about the Canuk as I was looking at someone else's name while typing the message.

    I am so glad you are staying at the Marriott.

    I will certainly contact you when I arrive as I heard there was a Walmart (if you want to go) within walking distance and I want to grab a few things! I look forward to meeting, BTW my name is Heather :)

  6. 7 days until surgery, liquid diet going good except I fell off the wagon once.

      Just got back from OCC Sunday morning. Please do on their website and research Plication...new procedure...really GREAT...I switched and had Plication done. It is reversible...no one told me until my day of surgery there so I didn't have enough time to research...just a heads up.

      Thank you so much Denali, Petra and call me crazy for the support :)

  7. 13 days until I am sleeved. I am so excited, yet anxious. Getting used to the liquids already.

  8. Trying really hard to drink the protein shakes and eating soup for my pre-op diet. Alot harder than I thought!

      It is hard but it is getting easier. Thank you for the encouragement.

      We are all thinking about you CMC, positive wishes and thoughts!

  9. 18 days until surgery. I am currently in Instanbul for work and had to find protein shakes.Guess what Instanbul has 13 GNC stores .. who knew?

  10. Sounds like all is going well!! I am 25 days and counting. Losing weight but it is tough as I cannot cook for myself on the ship. Hope your journey is going well, keep in touch!

  11. Scheduled my VSG today with Dr. Ortiz on November 1st. Anyone going on this date as I am going by myself and I am a bit anxious.

      Thank you for your reply, I am still deciding between the two; however leaning toward plication. Good luck eguidry on your plication, let me know how everything goes.

      Petra, do not worry I cannot spell at times either :)

      How did you decide to go with Dr. Ortiz. I am thinking too to take him. Did you know somebody before who had this done.

      Thanks for answering.

      I do not know anyone; however have done my research and he seems the best option to go with as my insurance will not pay.
