  2. Yes dr Ortiz and Obesity control center are awsome. I'm an RN and lots of research before my sleeve in may. JCI ACCREDITED. Center of excellence. 54 lb gone. No regrets. No issues. He's the best
  3. You'll be successful. I was surprised that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Good luck

  5. My experience was much like yours. Dr Ariel Ortiz is a great surgeon. I've lost 52 lb since sleeved 5/21. 204 to 148
  6. I was sleeved may of this year. 50 lb gone. I can't say anything negative about OCC dr Ortiz is an excellent surgeon. No issues whatsoever. The Marriott is a great place to recover as well
  7. I was sleeved 5/21. By dr Ariel Ortiz. Wonderful facility. The visiting hrs didn't bother me or my husband. We both need rest. Absolutely no issues. I'm an RN and did lots of research. No problems with payment. Cashiers check no problems
  8. Not familiar with the 2 you mentioned. Good luck with your surgery

  10. I agree 100% with the other comment. I haven't gone to my pcp after surgery because I'm only 5 weeks out. They recommend labs in 7 to 8 months. I do t anticipate an issue. People have negative impressions of Mexico. When they don't even have the whole story. Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC is wonderful. Can't say anything negative about the facility. I've heard good things about your Dr as well. My husband became more supportive after I explained the health aspects . Less knee pain, feeling better. Improved cholesterol, more energy. If u have blood pressure or diabetes it will improve.
  11. Never us did I feel worried. Relatively very safe procedure. I went to DR ARIEL ORTIZ at OCC. Top notch. I did a lot of research as an R.N. the facility is JCI accredited which is very important when choosing a facility I was sleeved May 21st. Absolutely no issues

  18. So glad you're doing well. My sleeve was May 21st. Getting in my hydration and started on protein shakes today. Feeling fuller quicker than with clear liquids. Still gassy as well. But all is good. Good luck
