Emily, thank ou for the kind words. Even though I am confident that I have chosen the right doc, it is still good to hear that others have had a good experience before me... and congrats on the amazing loss you have had.

 

Kasey, I hope we can meet up I know we will both be tired but look for me as your checking in if u have time I will be at the hotel till thurs afternoon

So glad to hear others posting about the OCC and Dr. Ortiz. I'm hoping to schedule with Dr Ortiz at the OCC in June. I too like to hear other's experiences.

I'm having surgery on the 12th, then I will be at the hotel until late Saturday...

 

Amber I will for sure look for you

 

I'm very confident the OCC is the right chose for me too!!!!

I'm going the first week of April. I've heard wonderful things!

I plan on giving a full account in detail for you guys I know how much it helped me when I was just starting out

I had surgery with Dr. Ortiz on February 4....feeling really good...off all blood pressure meds! Woo hoo! The staff at the OCC is very organized and the nurses were helpful, but not pesky. The whole surgery center is very efficient and I felt were thorough. They answered all my questions and overall, I wouldn't change anything. Including the pre-op diet, I have lost 27.7 lbs in 7 weeks....only 65 more to go!

Please message me if you have questions I could answer. My surgery experience is on my blog. GOOD LUCK!

are any of you planning on traveling alone? I am seriously considering Dr. Ortiz but would need to go alone so my DH could stay home with the kids.

My hubby stayed home with our kiddos too, so my friend traveled with me and was there the day of my surgery and left the following day. Was kind of nice to rest, walk, drink on my own schedule and not have someone there with me. Traveled home alone. It was no big deal. Now don't get me wrong, I was tired when I got home, but it worked out well.

 

I've been in contact with the OCC a couple times after my surgery and have gotten good response to my questions.

 

Good luck in your decsion!

I'm considering going it alone. I have a friend that used Dr. Ortiz at the OCC last year and she said it wouldn't be any big deal. As a single mom with an 8 year old.........alone sounds really good!

I'm going alone. I'm terrified, but I'm going alone anyway.

It is so good to hear such good things about Dr. Ortiz. My surgery is on April 9th with him. I couldn't decide, and changed Dr.'s because I just had a gut feeling about Dr. Ortiz. I am also a single Mom, of 3 and I'm going alone. Even though my kids are older, I'm looking forward to the experience on my own! My new life is just about to begin!!! If anyone else is going to be with him, on April 9 please let me know. We could toast to our new lives with a cup of chicken noodle broth!

bee13 and Healthy& KSKinny, How did your surgeries go this year with Dr. Ortiz? Any updates?
