Hi all, i was banded by Dr Ortiz on Aug 19, my experience was very good, me and my husband flew into San Diego, we hade the driver weithing there for us and another 6 adults from all over us and cananda, he took us over the border in no time no stopping at all since we ate on the plane he took us to the hotel beautiful Lucerna where we hade the whole afternoon to relax by the pool have a nice romantic dinner in the hotels restaurant, we went for a walk arond , took a cab and went to revolution ave and did a little shopping got some presents for our kids , the next morning the drivr picked us up at 7 am took as to the H i did my pre op stuff and after about few hours i was in the OR room , came out after 2 h i was walking around i spended the night in the H few of the others wanted to go to the hotel to spend the night that was ok too but since i have a privies open heart surgery i eanted to be safe then sorry :tt2:) so i stayed the morning after at 7 the driver took the rest of us to the hotel and everythng eas beautifull its been a week i lost 10 lb i'm so so happy i feel healthy. I thank God for giving me the priviledge to meet dr Otriz and his staff very nice people , i rather pay a little extra and kno i will be safe not take any chances because after all money come and go we stay so i would not be cheap when it comes to me or my family in any condition. if i hade to do it again i would o it in a heart beat belive me. i hope it helps for anybody that is so so sacred as i was. but i am happy with my desicin. take care and god bless u all in making u desicion.
