  1. Hi Doris, I too have been reading the recent posts on the mexicanbandster site. I don't know if this will help but I am forwarding my response post (pending approval) that I sent a few minutes ago... I was banded by Dr. Ortiz June 18 of this year. There were 5 total in my group scheduled for surgery on that day. We all arrived in Mexico the day prior for pre-op testing. An anomily was discovered on one of the girls EKG's so she was promptly scheduled at the Oasis Hospital due to the potential increased risk factors. The remainder of us had our surgery at the Surgical Center that everyone is talking about. I don't know what the cuurrent status is regarding the Oasis vs Surgival Center but I would like to point out that it has not been over two months since Dr. Ortiz has used the Oasis Hospital like some posts have indicated. I can't speak for the others but I had no problems having my surgery done at the Surgical Center. On the contary, it was very nice having all of us so close. I went to Mexico by myself but never felt alone once. We all had our own rooms but basically had our own private wing including nurses station and Operating room. I was well taken care of by the staff and we were all discharged the following day, which was wonderful because I was looking forward to getting to my Hotel room. All and all my experience with Dr. Ortiz and staff was great from start to finish I would also like to add that I chose Dr. Ortiz because I feel he is the best at what he does and I would highly recommend him to anyone out there who is looking for a caring Physician who is truly a great surgeon...Gail
  2. Hi Everyone....I had my first fill today with a local Doctor. She was great! I got a total of 3cc's. I went in early for a fill (4 1/2 weeks post-op) because I felt no restriction and had only lost 7 pounds. Anyway--she discovered that my port is flipped backwards, however after some manipulation she was able to get me on the first stick. My question is...How common is this, and does anyone know what causes this to happen? She said it's possible I may have to get this fixed in the future if fills become a problem. Any thoughts...Gail
