Any thoughts or advice would be helpful. Do any of you know how long recovery is for Sleeve surgery. Which Dr. Ortiz are you using? I am also getting mine done on Jan. 17 in MX with Dr. Jesus Elias Ortiz. I think the other doctor Ortiz is Ariel Ortiz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shergirl 18 Posted December 30, 2012 Isn't it funny how we don't want people to know. I am careful about telling friends and family that I know struggle with weight and who will be supportive. I am worried that I will fail at this too and just get larger and larger. . Happy surgery to FinallyMyTurn and JOJO57. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Cadilex 52 Posted December 30, 2012 I am about 70 miles south of Dallas and scheduled for surgery Jan. 22 in Dallas with Dr. Nick Nicholson. Stocking up on essentials. Playing the out-with-old-in-with-new game. Cleaned out the fridge, freezer and pantry yesterday and I am working on the closets tomorrow! This is the first New Year in a long time that I feel confident that will actually maintain my resolution the entire year! Super excited!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinallyMyTurn 2 Posted December 31, 2012 I, too, don't want anymore public failures. And some of my work colleagues are super judgmental. I am doing this for me. 2013 is my year! I am turning 50 in August and cannot bear to be so unhealthy any longer. It is finally my turn. Period. 1 JoJo57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
