  1. I live in bc but live right on the edge of border & flew out of Calgary, I have a friend who had the sleeve in Edmonton it took Aprox 7 months from start to finish for her. I have no regrets check out the page on Facebook a lighter me huge support group my pcp is very supportive and we are looking into skin removal surgery
  2. I had my surgery with lighter me 02/25/15 down 50lbs.I was taken the exact place in the paperwork.And the mi hospital was very clean.I find this hard to believe.there is alot of videos posted of this hospital as well. Was it recently?
  3. Wow I went around this time.I had dr.curiel.it seemed like alm was a bit unorganized.and said it was because they had lost one of their Cordinator/drivers.i wonder now.i know if I'd have seen this it would have made me leary and I would have been panicking.i do not regret going and i knew going in there are risks.even of death im sure every patient no matter where it's performed fears it and takes that risk.even thou I did not have dr.ortiz he also made sure I was doing well and checked me when he seen his patient.he showed concern about his patients.my roomate had bad nausea and he checked on her many many times a day. im sorry this happened to your friend.god bless
  4. 1 night hotel 2 nights hospital another 2 nights hotel then home
  5. I live in british columbia canada the wait is 3-5 years.so I went to tijuana after alot of research with the company - a lighter me.
  6. I used Dr.curiel but my hospital mate (i thought i would be in my own room even traveling alone)had Dr.ortiz so I thought I could add from my experience. Dr.ortiz was very kind ,caring and concerned about his patient having extreme nausea from surgery and followed up with her many many times in the 2 days in the hospital as well as myself even thou I was not his patient.as for the # of surgeries he does a day I can only say my day I counted 8 which had dr.ortiz.but like i said i think it was not his norm amount. maybe just booking errors as it took awhile to get our rooms.my experience kinda sucked because I listened to vomiting for 2 days n didn't rest much.I was thankful it wasn't me and I was out with no side effects. I'm in touch with those 8 and they are all doing well.
