Hi. I was scheduled in OCC with dr Ariel Ortiz in July. They’ve been closed throughout the pandemic. Now that they’re re opening in July they came out with a tremendous amount of new requirements that are making it very difficult for me. (For example need to be there 2 days before surgery)

I’m strongly considering switching to Tijuana bariatrics with dr Garcia or renew with one of their doctors.

what are your thoughts? I’m so confused. 🤦‍♀️ I just want this done already!

Thank you for your replies.
I’m going to book there.
nervous and excited!!

Still undecided which one.
thoughts please?

Oh, I forgot to mention, Efren has also gotten the VSG, so he was a huge help with providing insight on what I need to expect pre op and post op. I really appreciated all his help.

thank you for all of your help!

Hi Bethy1234,

There are 2 Dr. Ortiz's that do Bariatric surgery. I had mine done by Dr. Ariel Ortiz at OCC, he did a fantastic job. I have had no negative side effects from the surgery and highly recommend him to anyone considering the VSG.

Thank you for responding!
Yes, I was looking into dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC. happy you had a positive experience. he has great reviews.

a friend had it done with dr cueva at renewal bariatrics. Had a very good experience. When I called them the person I spoke to was much clearer than the person I spoke to at occ. also dr cueva is $2500 less. I would pay if necessary more money, but if I don’t need to why should I

the only reviews I found about him were all positive but they were on renewal bariatrics Facebook page.

I’m having a hard time making a decision.

HI all,

I am new here. I am looking into these 2 doctors in Mexico.

Dr. Ortiz works in Obesity Control Center and Dr. Cueva in Renewal Bariatrics.

Has anyone done the sleeve with either of them and how has it been?

I'm looking for references on both.

Thank you very much
