anyone have any information?

Hello all,

I am researching into having the Lapband procedure performed by Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Mexico. Is there anyone that can give me a recommendation for him?

If you go to the 'Forum' tab at the top here and then down to 'Doctors and Hospitals' you can do a search there or start a new thread. There are MANY people here who have used Dr. Ortiz (I saw him on the TV show 'The Doctors' too...he seemed really professional). Good luck to you and WELCOME to LBT!!! -BG

I had my surgery done in Mexico and could not be happier! The hospital was very clean and all of my doctors were very professional! When I was searching for a doctor, I came to find out that many of the doctors in Mexico are on the Board of Surgeons for the US and completed numerous trainings in France and other countries. The US is VERY new to this surgery and many of the Mexican doctors trained the US doctors on this procedure. Go for it!!! :scared2:

I did mine 3 days ago in the Dominican Republic through Global medical services. Its been a good experience and I'm still here at the hotel healing. The services were great and the price is pretty low. I can give you details if you like.
