Dr. Ariel Ortiz and The Obesity Control Center



Recommended Posts

Has ANYONE ever had any work done, or have friends who have had work done, or any frickin first or second hand information about Dr Ariel Ortiz and Obesity Control Center? ? I have posted before and no reply by anyone. Kind of hard to believe.

Am I posting to the wrong blog? Newbie here looking for answers.
Thanks.

I remember back in 2009 when I got my band people on the boards would talk about him all the time. I haven’t seen anything recently. Have you tried doing a search either on this site or with Google?

THANK YOU for your reply. I was starting to think this thing was broken, haha. (Not really)

I have done plenty of google searches but there doesn’t seem to be much that is recent, like even in the last year. Lots of good reviews but mostly from 2016 and prior. So that is why I thought reaching out here might help.

Is there a different forum I should post this question to ya think?
Thanks again.

I think there is a forum for Drs, try there. But also try doing a search on this site. I live in Australia so I really have no idea if he is good bad or ugly!

I had my VSG with Dr. Ortiz on 7/31/18. No complaints whatsoever. I traveled from NJ and my mom came along as my companion. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. OCC has a secret Facebook group that was extremely helpful and supportive - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OCCSleeveSupportGroup. They keep it private so no one knows you're a member, just in case of judgmental peeps :)

I am having the same problem finding any recent reviews. I did try using their online chat feature on OCCs website and nobody ever answered my chat request.

I was banded by Dr. Ortiz in 2012 and just got a revision (no problems, just not enough aftercare support in the states for the Mexican bandsters) to the sleeve on Thursday (March 7). I’m still sitting in the hotel recovering now and won’t be flying home until Monday night.

If there’s anything in particular I can help with, please let me know.

Yes, I had the VSG done by dr Ariel Ortiz on June 12, 2019. The entire experience has been fantastic.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
