I was sleeved on Nov 15 by Dr. Ortiz and his assistant Dr. Morales. I went alone. I had absolutely no problems at all. The Dr. is qualified, the hospital is clean, and the nurses trained. Overall it was not a bad experience at all. The hotel is awesome. I was never afraid. I have lost 19 pounds so far. I would recommend Dr. Ortiz and a lighter me to anyone. I want to take my daughter this year to have the sleeve done. It was the smartest decision of my life. I am on my way to healthy new me.
