Help !Considering lap band need Good fill doctor and support group

[jjolive 0]

I am considering Dr. Oritz for my lapband surgery in Mexico. I'm really excited. I'm having trouble with financing and my insurance will not approve me. I have money saved but it is not enough just yet. Unforunately I can not afford Dr. Speigel which may be a good thing because of all the changes. I workout consistently and I am knowledgeable of nutrtion and healthy eating. I must admit that I have a problem overeating when I'm stressed but I'm learning to control that. I have heard great things abour Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I can not find a co- signer. Can anyone give me feedbck on financing companys that work with you. Also who are the best doctors to get fills from in the Beaumont, Port Neches, or Houston area. I would also like to join a support group in the area. Do we have any support groups in the area. I need HELP please respond.

I bought LAP Band for Life by Dr. Ortiz it's a really good book. I ordered it from Amazon. I called Dr. Speigel and that said he use to see Dr. Ortiz patients but not anymore.

This is a link to the seminar schedule at the Medical Center of Southeast Texas. I had an appointment with the nutritionist last week and they were still doing the seminars although the center is closed. The link for wls has been removed from the main site but this shortcut still works.

Jjolive,

I had my surgery with Dr. Ortiz on April 6th. He is the BEST! I'm not sure who Dr. Spiegel is, but I can tell you from first hand experience Dr. Ortiz/Martinez and their staff are TOP NOTCH! I just returned to TJ this past Wednesday to get my first fill. I absolutely love those folks! As far as financing, I received an offer in the mail for a 0% interest credit card and that's what I used. Fortunately, I got my surgery done during the time Dr. Ortiz was offering $1,000 off in celebration of the opening of his brand new facility. That made a HUGE difference for me. I knew i wanted Dr. ortiz to do my surgery after I researched it for over one year. I just didn't know how I would afford him. This was a great decision for me. I feel so much better. After losing only 24lbs it has made a big difference in how I feel about myself and about life in general. I don't know if I helped you at all. Most of all, I just want to convey that you will be in the most capable hands with Dr. Ortiz and his staff.

God Bless,

Lynn
