  1. greetings...I just returned yesterday from having the Lap Procedure done w/Dr. Ortiz and Martinez. I live in SD and I was freaked about the Mexico thing. LET GO OF THAT ONE...I feel like I am on Chapter one of my new life. I'm 54 and have struggled w/weight all of my life. This is a tool...a great tool...the support at the center is amazing. I just loved Dr. Miranda, the nutritionist...very logical and easy and kind and loving...Dr. Ortiz is a doll (and a hunk) - so personable and knowledgeable. THe staff at the clinic where the procedure is done is fantastic. I've never felt like I've been treated better in a hospital setting. Go for it girl! You've got nothing but WEIGHT to lose...don't wait!!!! Keep in touch, Isabella
  2. So glad for you...keep up the great work. I'm having mine done TOMORROW...I'm so excited, nervous, thrilled! Will keep you posted.
  3. You are doing so well. I'm so excited about hearing from everyone and they are all good experiences. I am going to TJ on October 25 to meet with Dr. Ortiz! I'm looking forward to it. This procedure seems so much less frightening than doing a full bypass...I just saw an acquaintenance who had it done and she ALMOST DIED - she popped a staple and was bleeding internally! That made me make an appointment immediately. How much total weight do you need to lose? Keep up the good work...are you able to eat/drink a little more now? Thanks again for replying.
  4. Thank you so much for your reply.It was very helpful. I just got off the phone with Sandy at the office, and am going for a consultation w/Dr. Ortiz later in the month. I feel very positive about this alternative to GPS...which is so severe and so serious. Thanks...and I hope your daughter does well and feels great. Thanks again.
  5. thank you both for your reply...I just spoke w/Sandi and Dr. Ortiz' office and was very impressed and have a consultation later in the month. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
  6. Hi all - I've investigated Gastric Bypass...and am a little nervous about going through such major surgery. Have just discovered OCC and Dr. Ortiz and would love to hear how everyone's experience of the hospital (was it clean, modern?) and how has your weight loss gone??? Are you losing regularly? Do you eat bites of things and get full? I'm in San Diego and going to Mexico would be so easy...and more affordable than doing the GPS out of pocket! thanks.
