I used Dr. Elias Ortiz and had a great experience! It has been almost 5 months and I am 4 pounds short of 80 pounds lost. I currently weigh 204. Almost in the 100s!

I am currently at the Marriott and three days out of surgery. I went with A Lighter Me and used Dr. Elias Ortiz. I can not say enough good things about this Doctor and the care I received. They (Dr. And his coordinators) met my every need. Dr. Ortiz came to my hotel both nights AFTER a two night stay in the hospital. I am a nurse and felt I was in good hands the whole time.

July 25th for me! So stoked! Will be arriving at the Mi Doctor Hospital in TJ on the 24th and surgery will be the next day. I think mom and I might go check out San Diego some.....neither of us are really interested in TJ honestly. We're total Cali virgins from MI so the very thought of "touching" California land is like......holy for us lol. Anywhooo....I know I won't be able to do much sight seeing or anything once I'm post-op....so I've got that one day. Mom'll be going nuts though haha! I told her she can just stay out of my hair as much as possible and get a cab and go see San Diego the whole time lol. Love her and all.....but if recovery is anything like the before/after of having my babies I'd rather be left quite alone, with my macbook for company. LOL.
Anyways, surgery is with Dr. Cabrera and I went through medicaltourismco, I think that's what it's called. I'm too lazy to check my emails for it.....meh, you know what I'm talking about if it matters to you anyways lol.
Can't wait to get this behind me baby!!!

Here are a couple of videos about my experience and Mi Doctor Hospital

Just wanted to let everyone know I am staying at the Marriot in TJ and it is beautiful! Abraham and the hotel staff go beyond your expectations. I will be having surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz tomorrow. So far everything is great. I will write in detail about my journey after surgery.

Before and current:

Good for you. My husband and I have been trying for almost two years. I hope to be in your position at some point. I am being sleeved June 11th. We do plan to wait a little, but I definitely see it as a blessing. Congrats again.

803Misty - I have a very good friend from SC that was sleeved last May by Dr. Ortiz and has had a wonderful experience. Actually I have 2 friends that have been sleeved by Dr. Ortiz and both are very happy with their choice. I'm scheduled for June 10th and can't wait!

So excited! Let's keep in touch!

I'm also 6/11 & I'm nervous about the preop diet bc I work in a manufacturing plant & have loooooong hours but WE CAN DO IT!!!
