Good luck, Stacy!

I completely agree. Dr. Ortiz is highly regarded in the medical field amongst doctors everywhere.

He is a very safe choice.

How does that make him better than Ortiz? Experience is exceedingly important, I wouldn't go to anyone that has done less than 500 bands but Ortiz has done thousands of bands.

With Dr. Kuri they started something new recently. AFTER the patient gets there they are given a form to sign saying they might or might not get Dr. Kuri for surgery. The form authorizes any of their sugeons to do the surgery. You typically find out who your surgeon is the day of surgery.

I wouldn't be cool with that at all.

When I had set up my surgery back in the early part of Dec. I was given my surgery date of Jan. and was told that there was a week in Jan that Dr Kuri would not be available to do surgeries because he was here in the USA giving lectures to other Dr.s on the band. I set up for my surgery for the following week when the Dr got back , and Dr Kuri did do my surgery himself...I looked over all paper woke before I signed it and there was no clause saying that he might or might not do the surgery him self....I really don't know where you got your info that Dr Kuri has done only hundreds of lapbands and not thousands like Ortiz..Kuri has done them longer..Maybe your band is too tight and you got confused..LOL..:guess

First of all I never claimed that Dr. Kuri has done only a few hundred lap bands. I did word that poorly, I should have put it in a different paragraph. I meant literally what I wrote, I wouldn't go to anyone that has done less than 500 bands. But I didn't intend to imply that Kuri has done fewer than 500.

Dr. Kuri's patients as of the last couple of months are the ones that explain this is a newer policy the office has. After you get there you are asked to sign a form authorizing any of their surgeons to do the procedure.

Just because Kuri taught Ortiz the procedure, how does that make him better now that Ortiz has done thousands of bands? Understand, I didn't go to Ortiz but I do know of him. I had it down to two Mexican surgeons after I decided on Mexico. Ortiz and Aceves. I opted to go to Aceves.

I would want to go with the Doc. I signed up with. * I don't like surprises like signing a form you might not get the doctor whose name we promote*

Dr. Ortiz is one I almost went with. Jump threads to DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS below from the drop box. You'll see much discussion there.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
