Hi everyone - I am a Newbie.  I have been looking into Lap Band Surgery and am just at the beginning.  I am happy to have found this forum.  I noticed that some of the posters were mentioning Dr. Ortiz.  That made me curious.  I have only heard of Dr. Kuri in TJ...are there more?  Can you give me your experience with your physician?  Is there a way to get a comprehensive list with credentials.  I guess I am a little cautious thinking that I will have to go to TJ for surgery. 
Thanks in advance for all your help.
