3Days Post Op: Alighterme And Dr Elias A Ortiz
Bob Barnett replied to Bob Barnett's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I don't know why my post didn't show up. Anyway I am 3 days out and doing really well. I get my drain out today and have been shopping in TJ. I will give a much more in depth review when I get further out but I wanted to see if you all had questions about Dr Ortiz and Alighterme. I am here to give you an honest opinion. Bob Barnett -

Bob Barnett replied to Jenny12's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
$4200 for Dr Elias Ortiz. Mi Hospital and Marriott. That covers everything except plane fare. Ppl have been extremely happy with him. -
I'm having surgery on Nov 13th. I'm 6' 290 lbs and burning up all the time! I sweat like crazy and it drives me nuts. Have any of you experienced relief from this when losing weight?
-
I don't have any advice but 96lbs!!!! That is incredible. Congrats and you will hit 100lbs soon.

I needed to read this so bad. My family is not supportive and think I'm going to end up butchered by going to Mexico. Is tough to not have support! This was great for me to read. -
I am sure being cold all the sucks. But I am so ready to make that trade. Sweating has actually really held me back. I dont like to go to parties, football games, work events etc..because I sweat so easily and its embarrasing. I do employee benefits and and consulting. I have to give presentations all the time and I am ALWAYS nervous about sweating in my suit and never about the actual presentation! Its crazy.

I'm in Little Rock but heading to Mexico on Nov 13th for surgery with Dr Ortiz. Two years ago Indid the entire 6 month insurance requirements for lap band. I was seeing Dr Luttrel but backed out bc I wasn't comfortable with the band. -
Dr. Elias Ortiz - A lighter Me

Use the contact information on the website I listed. They are very easy to get a hold of. I spoke with them briefly. I am still using Dr Ortiz bc I have never heard a bad word about him or a single issue. But that's me. Choose who you want. -

http://specializedbariatrics.com/ I don't know the details but it would not be unusual for there to be a contract involved. Perhaps they went out on their own but are obligated until the end of the year. Who knows. But choose who you want. According to Lopezs website the price is about the same. -

Most of the companies have options on their webpage. Efinancing Solutions have good options. But if you are going to Mexico and can save $4500 you are basically there. I'm using Alighterme and paying $4200.

I sweat all the time and it's miserable. Especially in a suit at work. When I give seminars it's very destructing to be dripping with sweat when nobody else is. If my surgery cures this it will be life changing to me.

November sleeve buddies going to TJ ?!
Bob Barnett replied to Italiancurves's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Nov 13th here with Elias Ortiz. Absolutely ready to get this done. In fact I might bump my date up if I can change my flight. I got tickets for $233 from Little Rock to San Diego. Dang that's cheap! I was pumped over that. I'm nervous but mentally ready. So tried of the exhausting yoyo dieting. I could do it the rest of my life and never accomplish anything. Plus I guarantee this surgery will pay for itself and get results. -

Anyone feel wierd not having all the preop appts when going to mexico?
Bob Barnett replied to cpeycke's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I think it depends on your health. I was going to do lap band 2 years ago in the states. I went through the entire 6 month deal and it was a joke. It was just a formality for insurance. IfI had serious conditions then I would certainly want my surgeon aware of them and would ask my local docs to give me permission. BUT this surgery is performed on some of the most unhealthy ppl. Some will literally die without it so I don't think there are too many things that would stop them. -
Wasn't that worst! I do that and it's so uncomfortable and so embarrassing. I'll do anything to get over that feeling.
