I am scheduled for bypass with Dr. Ortiz through A Lighter Me on 08/03/15 at Mi Doctor Hospital. Is anyone else traveling there at this time? Also any feedback on Dr. Ortiz or Mi Doctor would be greatly appreciated.

I had my surgery at Mi Doctor. It's a small clinic-like hospital. It's a bit dated but clean. The nurses were really nice. Waiting for and right after surgery I was in this room with other ladies and it was awkward because I had diarrhea and we all shared a bathroom. Finally they moved my husband and I to a private room. I slept a lot and when I wasn't sleeping I was walking the hallways.

Tip: there's some coconut-flavored electrolyte Water in the café on the first floor by the entrance. Buy some. It's safe for Clear liquids stage and I had my husband go to Walmart and buy a case I loved it so much. I mixed my Protein powder in it every day and drank the bottle over the day. So much tastier than a Isopure. Blech!!
