Healthy&Skinny 33 Posted February 8, 2013 I so appreciate everyone's feed back on Dr. Ortiz. My surgery is now booked for April 8th with Dr. Ortiz. Does anyone else have any other feedback on their experience with OCC and Dr. Ariel Ortiz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healthy&Skinny 33 Posted February 10, 2013 Hi Sherri: are you with Dr. Ortiz at the OCC as well? I am traveling alone and would like to have a travel buddy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherri3388 36 Posted February 10, 2013 I haven't scheduled the surgery yet but that is the date that I am looking at. I was having some trouble with my passport that has delayed my scheduling. Then I ran into conflicts with work, ughh. So hopefully by next week I will be able to schedule. I will be traveling from Pa and my bf will be coming along with me. Where are you coming from?

MrsPiggleWiggle 65 Posted February 10, 2013 I'll be there April 8th, and I am also traveling alone. It's good to know we will all be there together!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
altagirl 127 Posted February 10, 2013 Good luck to you all - and if/when you have surgery be sure to let us know how you are. I had surgery in Sept with Dr Ortiz and had a great experience. One thing I will recommend is pack light - very light. The hotel has Shampoo etc so no need to bring those kinds of things. However, I know there are some of you who, no matter what, will bring everything plus some "just in case!" My mother is that way - but honestly you are not there very long, and no one cares if you are wearing the same shirt as the day before. On another thread I posted a picture of my suitcase which was a mini rolling carry on - about half the size of what most people use. I went alone but quickly met other people having surgery on the same day as me. Wishing you all the best - and a speedy, non-eventful recovery!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
