leatha_g 4 Posted November 25, 2004 Just wondering. For those of you who ordered Dr. Ortiz's book, have you received it? Seems like it oughta be here by now, but I've not received mine??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momhappe1 0 Posted November 25, 2004 No, I have not. I did get a call from them though that said they had run out and they were going to be sending more out on either the 20th or 29th. so you should have it next week. I cannot wait to get mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted November 25, 2004 I spoke wit Sandy at Orti'z office, there was a delay and she said they should be sent out this week. Also for those of you who ordered, please make sure you were not overchargerd. It has been posted on other boards that some have been charged 129.50 on their credit card statements instead of 12.95. If this is the case for some of you please call the publishing company MWP Publishing at 949-715-7924. It seems to have been an error on the part of the publishing company and they are aware of it as well as Ortiz's office and are working to correct the problem.

Iluvharleys 15 Posted November 25, 2004 I got a call too, saying it would be shipped last monday. I should be getting it soon if they did. I'll let you know. Thanks Michelle for warning us about the overcharge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagerteresa 3 Posted November 25, 2004 Let me know what you all think of it when you get it. I will probably want one too if its any good. I took that Jessie Ahroni book and gave it to my primary doctor yesterday. I am the only band patient he has and thought it might be useful for him to learn a little bit about the procedure. Best wishes, Teresa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted November 25, 2004 When they called me they said it was a really good book and was about 300 pages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted December 10, 2004 Hey, did anyone get their book yet? I haven't gotten mine and it was supposed to be shipped a few weeks ago. I sent them 2 e-mails asking about it and haven't gotten a response yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claraluz 2 Posted December 10, 2004 I've heard a lot about this book, but what is it? A book that Dr. Ortiz wrote about the LapBand? Does anyone know more about it? Nancy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blossom 2 Posted December 10, 2004 Not me, I'm still waiting!!! Yes, Nancy it is a book that Dr. Ortiz wrote about the LapBand. There was a post somewhere on this board that had a link to order it, but I don't remember which one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted December 10, 2004 www.lap-bandforlife.com I called Orti'z office this week and they have all gotten their copies and she said that the others are being shipped..If I do not get mine by next week..I'm going to dispute the charge on my credit card..this is ridiculous. As much as I love Dr. Ortiz I feel he should not made it public that the book was here and then have the publishing company take a month to ship them...

leatha_g 4 Posted December 10, 2004 Yep. I got an email saying mine had been shipped over a week ago too. Nothing yet.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted December 10, 2004 I haven't checked to see if it got charged to my credit card. They aren't supposed to charge it till they ship it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted December 10, 2004 Mine was charged the day I ordered it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momhappe1 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Mine was charged the day that I ordered it as well. I do not have mine either. They had called in November and said that they would be shipping them out. Still no book. If I do not get it next week I might ask for an e-mail address or something as they already charged my account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted December 12, 2004 I sent them an email and told them either send my book or credit my account. They sent me an email on 11/29 with this url blocked::http://www.mwpmedia, which i could not use to an 'electronic copy - until they could get the books out. well, as you see, it is 'blocked' so this never worked for me.
