Trying to decide between those three doctors and their respective facilities and care....any suggestions?

I was toying with going back to Dr. Ortiz for revision surgery (I had the band with him back in 2008) but they couldn't guarantee me they could do it in one procedure (an issue for me since I'm from northern Canada). I also had a friend personally recommend Dr. Aceves so I looked into him more and everything directed me to him! I had the best experience and all of his staff were kind and professional. No issues at all! I'm down almost 50 pounds and from a size 18/20 to a 12 now! I love that man and his staff!!!

I have been watching your youtube videos (and subscribed to them). Love them! They are very uplifting and inspiring. Would love for you to suggest some other youtubes that may help me. I am scheduled wit Dr Aceves July 25th.

That's so kind! I have a hard time believing that people actually enjoy listening to me ramble on forever, but I enjoy watching other people do it, so.

There are so many good people to watch! These people are other Dr. Aceves Patients, so we can start there:

Oh, nice!! When is Katie O. being sleeved? Oh, just found her video. 3 days before me.

Can somebody who had Dr Ortiz pease tell me if there is wifi or the ability to connect to the Internet while at Almater Hospital?

I dont think Dr Ortiz is at Almatar (that would be Dr Aceves). But yes, there is WIFI.

I got both wifi and US cell service from Almater.

Dt. Ortiz is at Obesity Control Center in TJ and your hotel is the TJ Marriott. Both have free wifi.

Yes sorry - I'm getting too confused by it all. I meant Dr Acevez and he Almater Hospital. I am tentatively booked for the sleeve on the 30th (July) - sooo nervous and even more so since they warned me that the sleeve can make acid reflux worse (I don't have a hernia). I really don't want the bypass though.

Go a few days earlier and go with me.

When is your surgery?

TOTALLY GOING WITH DR. ORTIZ!!!!!!!

I have been reading so many good comments about all the doctors at OCC. I was thinking about going with a doctor at BeLiteWeight Dr. Rodriguez, but I have changed my mind. I am excited,scared & have alot of butterflies but I feel pretty confident about choosing OCC

I have yet to find anyone else having surgery with Dr. Aceves on August 5th! Hoping for a surgery buddy.

I emailed Nina and asked her if anyone else was having surgery on the same date as I. She said yes, and I gave permission to Nina to give my email to that person. She has since emailed me.
