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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
