Which doctor is the best?
It would be great if some people would answer
Thanks a lot!

Im having the sleeve done on Feb 18th...with Dr Alvarez...he is more costly in Mexico...but he also has a awesome reputation and stats.He has a book that u can purchase at the Nook. He comes highly recommended...maybe worth ur time to check him out. GL and let us know what u decide
I'll sure check him out. Thank you.
What made you decide for him? Can I ask how much you are paying?
I really want to do this. I can't wait to change my life.
Are you excited for the surgery?
I will let you know when I have a decision.

Ortiz is also a bit more expensive but he too was worth it!

I used Dr. Quinones it was only 4k covered everything but Medication cost. http://weightlosswithsurgery.com/ is the website it is under construction but it functions and has some good information. Check it out when you get a chance. I have not had any complications post surgery, I got a lot for my cost. I was happy to get quality service at VERY LOW COST.

I had surgery with Dr. Quinones Oct. 5th 2012, he was awesome. I didn't have any complications, no pain other than gas pain, and my incisions healed up beautifully!
There are A LOT of great surgeons doing this procedure now and their prices vary. I also have chosen Dr Ortiz and find myself feeling that he is worth a bit more, although he's not radically more expensive than the cheaper ones and he's still far less than I could have it done here.
In the end, it came down to 4 different surgeons for me, and I believe I probably would have been fine no matter which one I would have chosen, I just had to go with my gut and the one I felt the most comfortable with.
Do your research and you'll make the best decision for you.

I'm doing my surgery with Dr. Ortiz... it was a very close call - I was debating between two at the end but in my heart I felt that going with Dr. Ortiz was the best alternative for me. I am just excited about being able to give myself the opportunity to feel healthy again using this tool to facilitate the process.
