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!

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! :)

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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
