Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the OCC
Vetniemeer replied to Kindle's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Thanks Angela.m yes, my papers said 2 weeks too, and tomorrow will be three weeks. That's not what concerns me, it that when I asked I've been passed around from staff member to staff member and nobody will give me a straight answer or even respond to my latest request. -

Has anyone tried to get copies of their medical records from the OCC post surgery? I am having no luck in getting an actual answer, and I am having some pain issues that won't go away. My local Dr insists on seeing the records but won't contact the OCC directly, saying I must, but I'm getting the run-around. Would love to hear from others who have received their copy or tried. Thanks! -
Sleeved Aug 7. Thought the sleeve was the answer to hunger because the hormone is removed. I have never been so hungry - literally - I am so disappointed because while I can't eat lots anymore (thankfully), I'm actually more hungry than before. Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing the same?

I was sleeved Aug 7 - you should go to the game! Enjoy.

Was sleeved in TJ on Aug 7th. Had a very bad reaction to the anti-nausea meds and anesthetic, but it came right after a couple of days. Myonly concern is that the paperwork, docs and NUT said I would not feel hungry the first week and I can honestly say I'm really hungry, and have been since day 3. Has anyone else had this hungry sensation?

Thanks for the replies....it helps to know I'm not alone! :-) I just managed to drink about a quarter cup of creamy soup but I still cant get as many fluids down as I should. Will def persevere, thanks! Keep up the great work! -
I fly tomorrow - will be thinking you and wishing you all the best!

Me too...more nightmares than dreams :-(

Yes, I think you're correct... but I think the other group is under the Mexican forum and on this one, its a mixture....not sure :-)

I'm allowed protein and salad (not everything, but a good enough list) once a day, as well as I can substitute a shake for a yoghurt. So I'm probably getting more calories than you but I haven't counted or worked it out, I'm simply following the NUTS plan.

Trying to decide between those three doctors and their respective facilities and care....any suggestions? -

Hang in there sugarpop...I don't know which plan you're on, but I know from my own, it is tough. I've done a week of it now and the sugar-free Popsicles do help. Don't give up...keep reminding yourself it isn't forever and all for a great cause....YOU!

Thanks for the detailed account, Kieshart - so pleased you are doing well and look forward to reading your updates and hearing how you are doing. It is very comforting hearing these detailed accounts especially as my day grows nearer and nearer :-) happy healing! -
