    Surgery was easy breezy! I never had a surgery that went so well. I had one pain pill only because my Mom wanted to go walking and I was feeling a little uncomfortable so I took a pill to get me through the walk. I LOVE my nurse Patti; she is such a jewel. I wished I could have brought her home with me.
    Ok, here is the problem; Mom and I both caught a cold on the plane coming home on Thursday night which has not been fun. I had 3 terrible days of carbonated drink withdrawal (terrible headaches) and I think my mind is still craving it. On Friday and Saturday I was STARVING! I thought I wasn't supposed to be hungry for at least the first week. Now my stomach was growling so I know I was hungry. I'm having such a hard time determining whether I'm really hungry or it's in my mind. Does anyone have any suggestions? I SO don't want to mess this up. This surgery was such a precious gift from my Mom and such a blessing in my life. Any support I appreciate it.

    Fat Burner Tablets

    By raalex1,

    I'm getting so excited about my sleeve procedure which is scheduled on Jan. 14. I've been taking the Espira vitamins and fat burner from the OCC starting on Dec. 14, one month prior to surgery as instructed. It states to take the fat burner 3 a day, which I have been doing, but noticed today that I didn't get 30 in my bottle. I'm 6 tablets short. Has anyone else experienced this same situation? Just wondered. Have a great and safe weekend.

    Sleeve Anticipation

    By raalex1,

    My Christmas present this year from my Mom will be received January 14, 2013, sleeve surgery. As soon as she said she wanted to do this for me I was so excited. I know someone who had her lap band surgery with Dr. Ortiz, then her Mom, her Dad, her sister and then an in-law all went at seperate times to the OCC for either the lap band or sleeve surgery and all were very pleased with the facilities, doctors and their surgery.
    I have had no apprehension at all about the surgery. I even watch a live surgery being done and was completely amazed at how it is done. I've not been scared about going to Mexico to have this done. However, the closer it gets and the more people express their concern about all of this, the more nervous I get.
    I haven't started my pre-op, 2-week prior diet but have already lost 8 pounds; which I'm very excited about, but also nervous that I won't lose the necessary weight they require prior to surgery. I'm sure I'm just worrying about what to worry about but if anyone has any support they would like to give I'd be thankful to hear it.
