I am scheduled for March 8th! Coming from Florida! I'm also nervous, excited, scared, etc. I'm nervous about failing on my pre-op diet too. I hope everything goes well. I'm thinking about skipping this forum though because, no one ever responds, and there are plenty of views and no comments. I really want to hear what others are doing, how they feel etc.. Support, lol. I want more testimonials as well. If you are having surgery in March 2017, tell me why you chose OCC? What have you heard? And how do you plan to achieve your weight loss goals!

 

I am coming from SW FL on Mar 9 for surg on 10th.

Thanks so much!!! Yes this is an emotional journey for sure. I'm almost too excited though! Focusing on my life after, hopefully no complications. I'm so sick of losing 20lbs and gaining it back. The pre-op isn't easy but I hope it goes by fast.

I am sched for gastric sleeve on Mar 10. I am excited. I too, am sick of losing 20 lbs and gaining 25 back. I gained a couple pounds first week of pre op diet, now below starting weight. It is difficult I find I am not hungry as I drink a protein shake in am and pm, eat lunch and snack in pm. Drinking water helps as well. However, I am nervous about reaching my goal for preop. I have read many testimonials online from various sites and researched Dr Ortiz and OCC. I am confident, this is the right center and team for me. I also like they have follow up after surgery for 5 yrs. I like the extra step they take of suturing staple line inside stomach as well.
