Lap-BAND Surgery Dr. Orwitz

Has anyone heard of Dr. Orwitz? He is in Tijuana, Mexico. I am considering having the Lap-BAND procedure done with him. He taught Dr. Simpson, who is from Phoenix.

    I assume you mean Dr. Ortiz? There are several threads on here discussing him. Do a search and that might help. PM me with any specific questions.

    Hey Dairydawg!!! I know you!!!! I too was banded on 9-14-07. To give you a hint which bandster I am, my husband & I were at a wedding! wink wink!!!

    Going back to the post. I also had a good experience with Dr. Ortiz. I'm also in Phoenix and went to Dr. Simpson's presentation & I was considering him, but then I did more research & decided to go with Dr Ortiz, because he is an expert @ what he does and the low cost helped!!! I am sure Dr. Simpson is excellent as well, but I loved the idea of saving the money, so I could afford new clothes.

    DairyDawg was up and moving the same day as if NOTHING had happened to him.
