My mom and I are scheduled for April 11th. We actually went down to TJ to visit the facility and Dr. Ortiz and staff a week and a half ago - After all the research I have done in this space and looking at all the specialists who have done a large volume of lap bands - I am now convinced that we are making the right choice by choosing Dr. Ortiz. It was easy to get a cab to the facility - so I now have no worries about getting there for my fills as well. All in all I had the same worries about getting this done in Mexico - but after conducting an intensive reference check with many who have been to Dr. Ortiz as well as visiting the office, meeting the staff, seeing the facilities -my fears have been put to rest. Good luck and more to come from mom and I as we have our surgery on the 11th.
