The deaths aren't alleged. 2 death in over 2500 bariatric surgeries performed in 4plus years by dr Elias Ortiz with A lighter me. I have the email in front of me. One was from a heart attack. That's .08 percent...about the average. No one is disputing deaths occur as a result of surgery. And no one disputes that people can die in planes......but we prefer to go with the airline with an impeccable safety record. And good public relations is essential here, or this secrecy just looks bad as it does now. I know- I'm a reporter. We must be fully aware before we make the decision. Not all surgeons have deaths on their hands. By the way. Take Dr. Ariel Ortiz with OCC and countless others. In 11 years he hasn't had a death. We are taking chances, of course but we still need be informed.

CONFIRMED TWO DEATH UNDER Dr. Ortiz AT A LIGTER ME.'

I EMAILED THE COORDINATOR SONYA TODAY ABOUT THE SECOND DEATH AS MENTIONED BY @@Gretta Zarabi.

She confirmed but refused to alleviate my concerns about going through their company.
I will not go to this doctor or through the company.

Of course, people die under surgery but not at this rate. I am especially disturbed about the secrecy. It's extremely bad public relations and makes Dr. Ortiz look very suspicious, unfortunately. in this case, it's better to explain what happened than to hide because most of us will come to a bad conclusion. I am very sad for the patients' family.

on the other hand, if you have too much Vitamin C---diarrhea will also follow

Honestly, I don't know what to do. I had looked at A. Ortiz from the beginning, then researched
others. What I do like about some medical groups is that they help you, especially if you're alone. I still haven't made up my mind.

Sorry, I should have provided proof: Go to Realself, search 'Dr.Ortiz Death'. Within that search you will read comments regarding a woman who went with a friend to get Bariatric surgery from Dr. Elias Ortiz. Her friend died. I continued my research and have been communicating with Sonya at "Lighter Me". She confirmed the death but refused to speak about it. I am more than happy to forward you my email. This email exchange was yesterday. Aziza

A patient died after surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz at A-Lighter-me. They won't tell me what happened except to say it was a couple hours after surgery. The woman went with a friend...
