WOW!! Congratulations to you. You've done amazing.

Just wondering... Which Dr. Ortiz? There are 2 Dr. Ortiz in TJ... Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the Obesity Clinic and there is another Dr. Elias Ortiz (not sure who he is with).

Welcome Kristen. You are so lucky to get this done while you are young. I just had it done on November 5th. I have also been overweight my whole life (now 53) and I feel like it's held me back so...

I 2nd that one!! LOL... My burning will make a rather nice bonfire. LOL

Tuesday, November 5th is my surgery day. Getting a little nervous but still VERY excited.

I love this.
