Thank you!!

I had surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz on May 16. Dr Morales that assists with the surgery is wonderful as are all the nurses. I can't say enough wonderful things about the whole experience. The cleanliness of the hospital, the attentive care you get, and every fear that I had about Mexico being put to rest. A lighter me is the company that I went thru and I am very impressed! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your journey.

He was my surgon and I just had it done Dec 4 and I feel great!!!! Everyone was very heplful and I felt very safe as I went byself. They have there own time down there nothing starts befor noon. It was cold there and they dont really have heat there so ask for the remote for the heater in your room and take warm clothes and shoes. I froze the whole time.

Thanks for the post I leave tomarrow!!! to start my new way of life. I am the same weight as you, so I hope I do as well as chamblem. I am having the gastris sleeve. It really make me feel that I have made the right chose

Thanks for all the posts !! I will be having surgery Dec 4 with Dr e ortiz and all the infor received has helped alot.

Yes - I had my VSG with Dr. Ortiz at the OCC in February 2013. You are welcome to read my blog as I was looking for any and all info I could find before surgery www.hoosierfatty.wordpress.com hopefully this is helpful to you.
Had a good surgery and smooth recovery. The most difficult part of the whole process was BEFORE surgery. Crazy random thoughts, frequent inner-discussion about why I couldn't lose weight on my own, friends worried about my safety, etc. Bottom line is this: if you can get past the geography and keep yourself from a nervous breakdown, Dr. Ortiz and staff are very skilled at what they do. Good luck...

I Live in Southern Highlands, My surgery is Dec 4 in Tj mexico

I am having my surgery with Dr ortiz Dec 4th, any tips on what to take with me. How did everything go any problems. What was your starting weight , and how much have you lost.

Good Luck to you! I went to Mexico for my surgery too. I found that the people and hospital staff were very professional and knowledgable. I enjoyed my 3 day stay in Mexico and I hope you do too.
