Hi Marsha, Yes I did go to Dr Ortiz in Tijuana. I`m down 83lbs since July and doing well. I was also there again on May 7th and they removed my gallbladder so I just missed you there by a few days! The waiting lists are long here to see a surgeon and after 2 months of gallbladder attacks I was tired of waiting so Dr. Martinez at OCC said he would do it for me! Gallstones can be a problem for some people with rapid weight loss - not because of the sleeve surgery itself.
Let me know how your surgery went and how you are doing. Hopefully your experience at OCC was just as good as both of mine were! Kelly

I see you had your surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I did as well on May 3rd of this year. Your weight loss is so inspiring.
