Ortiz And Alighterme



Recommended Posts

I had VGS in June with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center. I couldn't have asked for better care!

The Doctors and Center are wonderful!!! It was more expensive than some of the others but I don't regret that a bit!

I looked into a few other places that was less expensive but glad I choose OCC and Dr. Ortiz.< /p>

Good Luck!

I originally booked with him and cancelled and I am glad I did. A girl that was there at the same time had some major complications and it seemed like he didn't care at all. Take it for what it's worth but be careful!

Wow, that is a shocker if you are talking about Dr. Ariel Ortiz!

Dr. Ortiz, Dr. Martinez, Dr. Miranda and the entire staff was wonderful when I was there. They took extra time and spoke to all the patients at length. The care I was given was wonderful. The day after my surgery, I wasn't feeling very good. Not so much pain but just didn't feel like I should. They took me right in and gave me an IV (not enough sipping Water on my part) and made sure I was much much better before I left.

I have never had such concern and great care by doctors and a facility here in the States. I was totally impressed!

So sorry to hear someone else had a bad experience! : (

I too had surgery w/ Dr Ariel Ortiz @ OCC and can't say enough good things about him and all the staff. They responded to emails b4 and after. Sent followup surveys on my health every Monday for several weeks. I marked one small comment on one and got a phone call from the doctor w/in 1 hr of response to discuss.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
