EVEN THE NIGHT YOU STAY OVER AT THE OCC AFTER SURGERY Be sure to bring a little extra incase there are more than three people traveling from the hotel to the clinic and the clinic back to the hotel. Mrs. ortiz drives you to and from and you may have to take a cab if there is no room in her car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be worth a lot to me to know that my doctor is close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be worth a lot to me to know that my doctor is close by. Since this forum is set up by Dr Ortiz's clinic in Tijuana, most of the posters here have gone out of the country. There are several benefits to going to Dr Ortiz including expertise and cost. Since he is so well known among lap-band surgeons there are many US clinics who will see and treat his patients should local follow-ups be necessary. He also makes his cell number available to patients so we can speak to him whenever we have any questions or concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know...Thank you Of course, don't take my earlier statement as an admonishment or otherwise indicating you should go someplace else. We're happy to hear from and talk to anyone about banding issues regardless of who their doctor is. I just wanted you to understand why someone would ask us about what to bring for their surgery in Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
