looking for a sugen in mexico
Dr. Ortiez is my surgeon - got my sleeve a month ago but he has been my doc since 2004 - I had a band that failed (nothing to do with him - but he did help me decide how to fix the problem). Loving my sleeve - down 34 lbs so far and very very happy.
We are each so different, but Dr. Miranda (the Nut for Dr. Ortiez) says you can typically expect to lose about 80% of your targeted weight if you work with your sleeve and do your part. I lost 100% of my target weight with my band and know I will do the same for the 60 I needed to lose with the sleeve (I gained during the slip - )
Good luck - the Mexican docs are mostly wonderful.

There are many excellent Mexican surgeons, because they have been doing the sleeve down there longer than US surgeons. I went to Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras, just over the border from Eagle Pass, TX. His website is endobariatric.com . He is top-notch! I had a wonderful experience, and I have not had the first problem since. Other reputable surgeons are Drs. Joya and Aceves.
