You look fantastic and the steps you have taken to a healthier you should be a life long celebration!

I have the same question. I was sleeved on April 9, and I'm down9 lbs. I thought it would be much more by now, am I doing something wrong?

Hi Laurie, my surgery went great. Wow, I can't say enough great things about Dr. Aerial Ortiz and his awesome team! I am so glad that I went with my gut and did my research! This was truly the best choice I ever could have made. I know that the OCC costs a bit more than some other clinics, but honestly we are sooo worth it. You won't be disappointed I promise you. I found out while I was in TJ that the first Dr I booked before I did my research now owns a funeral parlor as well. Mostly because of so many botched surgeries! Please Laurie, do the best thing for yourself and every person who loves you and stick with the OCC!

I just had the best experience with Dr. Ariel Ortiz they do all your tests down there, the cost are included. Best decision ever going with the Obesity Control Center

I hear you on this liquid diet being tough. I need to lose 11 pounds for surgery on April 9. I almost had it, I had lost 10 pounds. Then got on the scale at my dr's office and it said I was 5 lbs heavier than my home scale said. I totally lost my motivation and started eating everything that I know I won't be able to eat after surgery. I went back up 5 pds. I now have 11 days to lose 7 pounds. Yikes

Hi, I'm March 9 with Dr. Ortiz, my name is Wendy and I'm coming alone. It would be great to have a sleeve buddy.

Hi Tracyhelen: I'm with Dr Ortiz on the 9th. Lets look for one another, is that your real name and send me a pic so I know who to keep an eye out for! I'm from Canada, where R from?

Hi girls, I know in my paperwork it was explained to me that min 5% up to 10% weight loss is a must pre surgery as it reduces to fat around your liver. This is the organ they have to get around to get to your stomach. 5% for me is 12 pds and 10% is 24 pds. I was doing pretty good then I went off the rails for a few days. Back at it, I'm down 7 pds so far and I'm going to do the pre surgery diet shortly just to try to get more weight off. I know that this will make my surgery easier, my recovery faster, and help me get to my goal quicker.

Can anyone be more AMAZING!!! Way to go!
