realwmnhavcurvs 5 Posted March 1, 2012 Hello all, Im scheduled to have surgery later this month with Dr Ortiz in Mexico. I did lots of research and was satisfied with this Dr and his credentials. His facility has also been ICE certified. I was excited and extremely confident until I read some of the complications and struggles that others have gone thru. As of today ( March 1 st) I feel extremely nervous. Anyone else sleeved by Dr Ortiz or later this month.. Feeling somewhat alone, I've only told one person about my surgery date.

Optima 3 Posted March 1, 2012 I am being sleeved on March 27 also! I am going through Dr Fernando Garcia at the Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana. I am not as much nervous as I am excited. I have a feeling this will be a great opportunity for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
realwmnhavcurvs 5 Posted March 1, 2012 Congrats, I was stuck between him and Dr Ortiz. I've read very good reviews about him. Are you traveling alone? I am very excited but can't express myself to family or friends. Just the mention of it starts a negative debate and I refuse to be discourage. Hence the reason for feeling alone .

Optima 3 Posted March 1, 2012 My Mom is coming with me. My family isn't very happy but I told them I don't care. I am doing this! I am willing to go alone but my Mom won't let me. I've read many post from people that have went alone. They all said it was fine. I wouldn't be worried. Are you going to be at the Mi Doctor Hospital?

Tana_Q 20 Posted March 1, 2012 Congrats for those going to Mexico. I must say that ya'll truly impress me as I would be more nervous than I am now getting on a plane to do this! Kudos to all of you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
realwmnhavcurvs 5 Posted March 1, 2012 I was seeing a wonderful Dr here in New Jersey but my insurance company was really giving me a hard time. I could no longer ride the emotional roller coaster. After lots of research I decided to go the self pay route. (Mexico) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
