  1. Dr Ortiz is awesome. His staff are very caring people. Send me your number in a private message and I call you w/my experience on Saturday evening. I don't regret my decision or the money I paid for the surgery.

    So how was your PCP today?
  10. No problem!!! I may be getting my surgery sooner then later. Instead of January 2015, I'm thinking about October 29 after I see my pcp. I do taxes for a living. January is when I start to make my money.

    I had a pretty good day today. I'm enjoying experimenting with my shake, trying to get it right. I added a scoop of peanut butter it tasted good. Gotta go see the doctor tomoro. I'm trying to debate if I'm going back to work Thurs or Fri. Thanks for checkin on me
  12. Will do. Btw, I will stand my ground. I'm hard to break. Once I have my mind made up that's it. I always tell people not to try to sell me anything...I promise u m myself that I won't budge. What's the link to the quiz. I'm Rarely on Facebook.

    I'm so happy to help. You'll find that you'll be the lone Plication-er in a sea of sleevers, but stand your ground. I still feel wholeheartedly that it's the best (and lowest risk) procedure out there. The pain was pretty mild compared to some other surgeries. I'd say it's more discomfort than anything. If you want to know anything else, please feel free to add me as a friend on Facebook. I'm at www.facebook.com/trendaspassion. I'm telling a lot about my experience and I can add you to some support groups for it and tell you about an online course you should take. It's helped me tremendously. :-)

    I did go alone and I'm not normally that badass-ish! It was actually a wonderful experience. I've had a couple of issues since coming home but nothing surgery related. It was really awesome. It's a slower loss and all surgeries are a tool and only effective as you make them. I didn't want to be cut or have anything put in me or taken out of me so Plication was the only option for me. I've only lost 18 lbs but in 6 weeks that's 3 pounds per week average and I'm not mad at that! LOL
  15. Hey Girl!!! Well I was sleeved on Sept. 19th and I've had no problems so far...Please do not be a scale watcher like me!!! I have had to have some encouragement TODAY about watching that darn scale!!! In 3 weeks I've went from 241 to 226 and lost 3 inches off my waist. I also got in a size 10 shoe when I wear an 11 so I'm just excited for the future!!! I seen one of my husband's friends whom I hadn't seen in awhile and he said, "What's up slim" lol...so that made me feel better and my husband calls me "Lil booty" he said your butt and back has gotten small!! So just stay encouraged and away from the scale!!! LOL...I will be praying for you traveling grace and a small waist!!! lol...Pray all goes well!!! Keep us posted

Vitamin D deficiency

by dmart27 on 10-30-2014 at 04:38 PM
Being obese is hell. I just received a letter from my doctor indicating she needs to see me regarding my lab work. Well, my fellow gastric buddies my vitamin D level is extremely low. Lmao but I live in the hot south so this mean I'm not going to try to hang out in the sun. What are other ways I can get my Vitamin D level up naturally? Please help w/any advice.

Pcp update

by dmart27 on 10-22-2014 at 04:58 PM
Ok my gastric buddies!!! I received good news and bad news today from my pcp. The good news 1st: my pcp agreed to monitor me after wls. Now the bad news. She's not to thrilled about me having surgery. She told me to lose at least a lb per week for the next year. My vitamin levels are normal and my diabetes is under control. I'm a little anemic so she prescribed a low dosage of iron. I'll be going back to her 10 days after my surgery. Now I'm saving my funds so I can self pay. Thanks to all my gastric

Pcp

by dmart27 on 10-21-2014 at 10:22 PM
I'm so excited. Tomorrow is the day I see my primary care physician. My appointment was scheduled for October 28th. Fortunately for me she had a cancellation. I will go into full details w/her about my surgery and ask her when should I come back in for my blood panel after surgery. All I want from my doctor is to continue to monitor every detail of my health as always. She's been telling me to lose weight for years. I must admit that my doctor and I are always direct w/one another. I truly believe
