    Default Ready To Start The New Chapter

    Hi.. My name is Kim.
    I'm new to this.. I'm scheduled to have surgery on 8/22 in Mexico.
    I went with A Lighter Me.
    Wondering if there's anyone that has had experience with Dr Elias Ortiz and Hospital Mi Doctor?
    I'm excited but starting to get very nervous. .
    I'm also hoping I can make it through the preoperative diet..
    Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!

    I used him and he was wonderful. Great service all around.

    I have surgery with him next Wednesday. I have read such good things about him. I have had a horrible time getting here, but I am very exited to get on with my life.
    Knowing me, I will be sharing what I found in Mexico here to help answer questions as others have. The pre-op diet is pretty awful so far, but Im sticking with it for the most part. It just is making me dizzy. I'm glad I took off work, because I don't think I could have done it this week. ( I work with 2-3 year olds as a pediatric speech language pathologist)

    Good luck and I will let you know how things go!
