Ive heard of representatives/coordinators of different doc's in mexico making up user id's and promoting the particular surgeon. Apparently it is common, and a shame that it happens... but they do it for shady business... Maybe the OCC needs pt's right now??? lol, I don't know. I've been just weeding through pt experiances with certain doc's and tossing ones that don't look legit or I've noticed more than once. \

Hi Beth. I believe I replied to one of your posts. Plus I have posted the account of my surgery on here too.

I am a real patient, not affiliated with OCC at all. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Hmmm. That makes me sad. :( I chose OCC because I only read wonderful things about OCC and Dr. Ortiz, and I have a friend that had the sleeve there over the summer and is doing fantastically well with her new tummy! I'm 100% happy I chose OCC and cannot wait to be there in less than a week!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
