Does anyone have feedback on a doctor Ariel Ortiz? or the Obesity Control Center in Tijuana Mexico? I am doing my research and want to schedule surgery soon but would like to hear from anyone who has used this surgeon or this Clinic.

He is the BEST. His clinic is the BEST. Friend him on FB and you can watch live surgeries on Friday. I used him for my LapBand several years ago, but couldn't afford him for my sleeve revision or I would have gone there!!!

check out "see Jane shrink" on YouTube. I believe that is the dr she used

actually she might have went through "A lighter me"

ALM is affiliated with Dr Elias Ortiz. That was my surgeon and my wife's as well.

I can't do any comparison, because I only went for surgery once and went through ALM, but I can testify to the world class treatment we received.

From start to finish, we were treated with the utmost respect. Our questions were addressed by the medical staff and coordinators, and we receive several emails weekly from their aftercare nurse giving us hints, tips and post op diet instructions.

They also have a Facebook group with lots of past and present patients, and access at my fingertips to questions, success stories that are updated daily and people discussing what works for them, and what doesn't.

Again, I have no frame of reference to compare these groups or surgeons, but I could not be happier with how my experience went.

I went to Tijuana and my Dr. was Ariel Ortiz $6500 it was fast, out of six I was the last one he does the surgery in about 30 min. The bed are super comfy, I have not had any problems my surgery was Dec.5 2016
