Grand Opening Special - $1,000 Off



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

I know I haven't posted for quite a while. But, I recently read someone's post that said Dr. Ortiz was opening a brand new facility. I called the Obesity Control Center and found out that his new, state of the art facility is open and he is doing $1,000 off until the end of April as a grand opening special. I knew I wanted Dr. Ortiz to do my surgery, just wasn't able to come up with all the money in December like I wanted. That $1,000 off makes it possible for me to have it done now. I am scheduled for April 6th. If anyone else is on the fence, this information might be helpful. I cannot believe that is only a couple of weeks away. I will probably be leaning on you all for support. I'll probably get nervous as the time gets closer. I'm SOOOO exited!!! :rolleyes:

(I'll have to change from Dec '05 to banded April '06)

Hey Wheetsin,

(That's funny!) I understand your sketicism but I've been researching Dr. Ortiz and speaking with his patients for about 8 months now. I was certain I wanted him to do my surgery. You're already banded so you don't have to worry about it. Congrats on your weight loss. I'll be there soon!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
