I have also learned that Dr. Alamanza does his surgeries in a strip mall clinic ! .... not a hospital proper... that's a bit risky! ha ha I am fairly sold on Dr. Ortiz , but am also considering Dr. Guillermo Alvarez who works out of Piedras Negras which is just across the border from San Antonio, Texas. It comes down to cost and timelines at this point. Thank you so much for responding to my questions, I really appreciate your time. Are you feeling good and getting thinner all the time ?

Hello: I am considering having Dr. Ortiz as my surgeon for gastric sleeve... would your recommend him? I am also from Alberta and just chose to ask you because of your location. I hope your journey is going well. Any info you could provide me I would be most appreciate of. How did you decide on this surgeon? Thank, you. and good luck !

Thank you! All went well...except the gas pains. Oww!

Well wishes as you embark on your new journey!

Best wishes with your surgery!!

Good luck 2 u with ur surgery and recovery

I totally cheated my pre-op diet! haha, good luck. It's very hard, but hopefully if we keep our eyes on the prize, it'll so be worth it.
