I'm taking vacation time as well. 11 days including the weekends. That will give me 7 days post surgery, does anyone know how much time you think we will need? I've heard everything from 1-3 weeks. I have an office job, so I'm anticipating getting back sooner.

It is so good to hear such good things about Dr. Ortiz. My surgery is on April 9th with him. I couldn't decide, and changed Dr.'s because I just had a gut feeling about Dr. Ortiz. I am also a single Mom, of 3 and I'm going alone. Even though my kids are older, I'm looking forward to the experience on my own! My new life is just about to begin!!! If anyone else is going to be with him, on April 9 please let me know. We could toast to our new lives with a cup of chicken noodle broth!

Wow, that's really cool! I'm sure it's still inflated with saline at this point, but its huge! I can't wait until mine is gone April 9

April 2 is right around the corner!

I'm in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. A holiday I'm the States to meet ya all would be a blast

So I ended up changing to Dr. Ariel Ortiz on April 9th. Then staying at the Marriott. Anyone else out there same day, same Dr.? I'm coming alone and it would be great to know others before we go!

Hi, I'm April 9, Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Anybody else at the OCC that day?

Who did your surgery and where did you have it performed?

Hey Hollirrose: You should post some new pictures? I know how inspirational your success is not only to myself, but everyone who knows you.

You are totally Rockin' that Sleeve. Do you exercise as well to get these awesome results?

I would like to know the answer to this Question as well?

Hi Laura-ven did you use Dr. Ariel Ortiz as well? My surgery is on April 9 and I've never heard of this? Does everyone need to do this?

Way to go, you are doing fabulous! Looking great!

Hi, I'm April 9 with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC, what about you?

Hi, I have done extensive research into many Dr. I know that Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the Obesity Control Centre in TJ, is the expert in Lapband's revisions, problems and issues. He was on the Oprah show in the past and has an excellent reputation. I am scheduled on April 9Th for Sleeve Surgery with him. The other Dr you have mentioned Dr G Alvarez is very well known as a specialist as well. If it was a seedy place you went to but I think you said a good Dr. Was that Dr. Mario Almanza by chance?

It would be so good to have fellow Sleevers to go out for dinner with and who understand you. I'm a single Mom who is having my surgery on April 8th. I'm really looking forward to getting through this stage and onto my new life.

So are you traveling alone or have a partner?
