7 days post op and I'm down 13 pounds!!! I'm so happy.. ) how much have you guys lost in the first weeks and months!?????? Pre-op: 252 DOS: 240 Today: 227

@brady- how to I reply like how you did? Thank you! I'm only getting like 50 grams I find it so hard bc I'm kinda shaked out! :/ but I've been doing a lot of walking, I wanna say 3 miles a day since 3-4 days post-op

@jessie- are you home from the hospital yet? Once they take out the IV and you get home you will prob loose another 4 pounds quickly!!

Congrats to you too!!! That's amazing! Are you exercising as well? How much protein are you getting in ?

My mom had the lap band with Dr. Ortiz. I just had the sleeve 1 week ago! (My insurance covered it here in Cali) thank goodness! But I have to say Dr. Ortiz office was way nicer than the hospital I had my surgery in. And he is much more patient friendly, and the staff is amazing.... I live in Brea CA so we drove down parked our car on the Cali side and DR. Ortiz office picked us up in Cali. Very safe such a good experience. I wasn't sure if my insurance was going to cover my procedure! So I called him and his price is $5,500 for the sleeve. That covers ride over border, hotel room for 2-3 nights, food (broth), and the ride back into Cali!!!!! Way worth it. Hope this helped....
