I just paid my deposit Dr. Ortiz today. So nervous and excited. I am going alone since my husband is staying home with our son. I haven't booked my ticket because I want to get some dental work done too. Has anyone gotten any dental work done in TJ and if do what dentist?

Ask OCC if they are still doing dentistry? They have a room for dental or they can recommend who to go to. I know they used to do it there. One stop shop......

Yes they do. They have an in house doctor at OCC. Just checking if anyone had dental work done.

There is a lady is having dental work done at the same time I want to say in April. Can't remember exactly. Maybe it was posted on the OCC forum. Hopefully she will see the question and chime in.

I am pretty sure they do all kind and crown and bridge work. But just email and ask.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
