Pics from my surgery in Mexico April 13th



Recommended Posts

Thanks for posting the pictures...I am planning on going to Dr. Ortiz early next year. Is there anything else you can share about your experience? How was Tijuana? It looks like yal got out and did some sightseeing. Did you feel safe? I have heard some stories.

Of course, I had my husband with me, but I felt 100% safe. We had a blast shopping....kids loved to make them come down on the prices. The food (supposedly) was great and Dr. Ortiz is just a gem. The whole staff is great.

You can see the Lucerna is nice also. If I had to do it over again, I definitely would.

I had surgery in TJ with Dr Ortiz the end of Septwmber and I cannot say enough good about my whole expierence..

The doctors. nurses, staff were very, very nice. the facility was spotless.

BEing a nurse I was looking for every and anything that I might find "wrong" but I have nothing but the highest praise for my entire expierence.

Dr. Ortiz and Martinez, Dr Sandra, Dr Rumero and the anesthesiologist all made me feel very comfortable. They come and talk with you prior to surgery , answer any and all questions you have. They even allowed me to watch a few fills and a few surgeries..they have nothing to hide...

I am returning to Dr Ortiz for my first fill on Friday and I am going from Florida.. I trust ,respect and admire them that much..

REad up on the procedure and the doctors and then make your decision..

Good luck to you.

Peggy

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
