  1. Confused?!?

    Benzaldehyde replied to ready2bskinny's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    I'm glad that you're deciding to go with Dr. Ortiz. I live in Bakersfield and saw you don't live very far, so I felt like I should share my experience. I just got banded on the 13th this month and had an excellent experience with Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Martinez. What convinced me to go to Mexico, in addition to my own research, was chatting with a nurse at a dermatologist's office who had been banded at OCC. I drove down the day before and stayed two nights at the Marriott Tijuana and returned home the day after surgery. People from Florida and New York were also there on the same surgery day. I wish you luck in your journey and I feel you've made a great choice.
