You can do a search under Dr. Ortiz and I'm sure you will find some threads about him. Good luck!

Hi Irene! I'm Vicki. I may be going to Mexico also. I need to find a Doctor. May I ask you what Dr. Ortiz charges down there? I am also self-pay. Thanks much!

Hi vicki, I did not go to Dr. Ortiz so I'm not sure about his prices. Best thing would be to try to contact his staff somehow and find out what his rates are. All Dr.'s are subject to change at any time, so even if someone replied now, it could change from the time they've had their surgery.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
