Going to Dr.Ortizon April 3rd-are you?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am going to Dr. Ortiz on April 3rd for Lap Band. I am excited and nervous about the sugery.I was wondering if anyone out there is going around the same time. I would love to meet other people from the US or canada that will be there in the first day's of April. Look forward to hearing from you.

Where in Mexico is he located? (assuming that he is) If it's near the border, be VERY careful. I live in Texas and they are telling us NOT to travel to Mexico.

Congrats on the surgery date.

Thought you'd like to know that there's a bunch of us getting banded in April. If you go HERE, you'll find an area where you can find us all.

You've also been added to THIS LIST of April Bandsters

The key cities are TJ and Juarez. It's not the entire country, it is key cities.

Hi there, Cajunmomma!

It's been a while since your original post. Any updates? Are you still set for 4/4? I am considering Dr. Ortiz in mid-May, but I am concerned about the current border issues in Tijuana. I am also having a hard time finding any MX May bandsters. Keep me updated on your status!

Good luck!

      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.
