AZCRS

Did not get answers that sufficiently addressed my concerns with OCC. Decided to go with Renew Bariatrics and Dr. Rene Armenta. MGB surgery is scheduled for September 2nd. I will report back on experience post surgery.

According to OCC: The IGS implements a fundic anchoring technique that effectively reduces the risk of herniation and severe chronic acid reflux. Yes, it sounds like marketing and I am taking it with a grain of salt. Looking for anyone who may have gone through this procedure to validate any reduced or eliminated reflux.

Hello BariatricPal, I have narrowed my sergeon selection to Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC, and Dr. Rene Armenta at Renew Bariatrics. I have GERD and require daily medication. I was originally going to get the MGB, until I came across the IGS. Has anyone had the IGS at OCC and is your reflux resolved? Comments appriciated.
