Hi my name is Linda I had my sleeve done with Dr. Ortiz at Obesity Control Center in Tijuana Mexico. www.obesitycontrolcenter.com

Hi. How did you find the pre-op & post-op care? Were you comfortable with Dr. Ortiz - and is the staff staying in touch with you? Myself, I was banded by Dr. Ortiz in 2003, but need & want to switch to gastric sleeve plication. Dr. Ortiz charges $8500 for lapband to plication revision, while Dr. Mario Almanzo (also in Tijuana) only charges $5000. Big difference. I'm still not sure what to do! Any advice would be welcomed!
