Great job. Keep up the good work.

You look great! Congrats on your success and best of wishes for the rest of your journey.

Hi, I was reading your story and I just wanted to congratulate you on your successful surgery, you look amazing! I am also contemplating the sleeve but like you I'm afraid of losing too much weight. I am 5'8 and I weigh 260. I would like my end result to be between 180-190. Being so tall I'm afraid that I will look unhealthy if I become stick then...Can you help me out by telling me as of date how much weight you've lost. Did you ever discuss with your doctor anything about the size of your sleeve? Is this even an option? Thank you so much!!

Hi!i am having surgery with dr ortiz on 2/17/14 at hospital midoctor and i was wondering if you could give me some feedback. I am very scared and nervous. Glad to hear that everything went well with you....

Excited to share your journey! It's good to find a home girl too! Lol.

Thank you both so much. Surgery went well. I'm very sleepy. I got no sleep the night before and very little last night. The only pain I feel is from the gas they fill you with. And I find it hard to walk because I'm so sleepy/dizzy. But, I'm doing quite well.

Good luck and blessings

Just wanted to wish you luck with your surgery tomorrow! Everything will be great! I was sleeved by Dr Ortiz in July and my journey so far has been amazing! I am 11 pounds away from my goal of 100 lost! All the best to you on your journey!
