Surgery in tijuana mexico



Recommended Posts

Hi Beth - I was sleeved by Dr. Ortiz at Obesity Control Center 2/4/13. I was very pleased with the level of care, the nurses, follow up suport, and am losing weight! Initially, I was pretty nervous about traveling for the surgery but it was really great. The doctors spoke great english, nurses spoke well enough to communicate, and I specifically liked the Nutrionist, Dr. Miranda.

You can read more details on my blog and are welcome to send me a private message if you have questions. Good luck! Do a lot of research, talk to a lot of people, and be sure you feel comfortable about your decision.

I was sleeved at OCC Dr. Ortiz on 3/12/12 and I had a wonderful experience. I still even keep in contact with two gals that I met while there. Both are from Canada. I really liked Dr. So I had some complications with medication and had to get a shot in the butt the next day after surgery and something in my IV as I started to get hives and my lips were HUGE.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
