I contacted them. The sales tactics o found a little off putting but I hear their surgeon is good. I went with occ because of many other pp great reviews. Whoever ypu go with down there they are doing tons of procedures and likely w ay more expd than stateside. They will tak e good care of you

Hey NEWMEBY50 thanks for the info about hair loss. i did loose a significant amount of hair. LIKE WOW it was a LOT. i didn't go bald but i can see my scalp through my hair in the front by where my bangs are. i just cut it short and said the hell with it. but i'm really hoping it grows back LOL. even knowing how thin my hair got I would still do the surgery again. feeling amazing. As far as dr care i got my primary care dr on board before i left for mx. Hes totally cool and checking my bloodwork. he has 3 patients that have done the surgery i MX. but i have had no problems of any kind.

The OCC team told me 500 extra but i'm one year out and thus far knock on wood no problems. I know they will at OCC.

The staff there is Extreemly accommodating and if some if the rooms don't have fridges I'm sure they would move you. For me they could not do enough. Super super nice folks.

My room had a small fridge and a microwave.

I got my surgery at OCC. They have the option you can remove it for 500. Extra. I just didn't have the extra $$ at the time. I wish id taken advantage of some of the facial fillers and Work cheap when I was there but I didn't know it would be offered. I'm sure it's common and a lot of ppl do it Just ask your surgery team.

I have a closet full of 3x ladies suits and dresses. A few nice pairs of jeans. Loads of high end work clothes some never worn. Pm me for pics

WOW i had called them before i went with OCC and their surgery booker totally creeped me out. i asked if there were any potential side effects of the surgery he said only weightloss UhhhMMMMM yeah right. he was creepy and untrustworthy IMO so i went someplace else. sorry this happened to you but glad you got it right in the end

im sorry I must have skipped a few pages somehow...... SORRY

i was having terrible problems with hair loss becasue of menopause and my hairdresser recomended NIOXON shampoo and scalp treatment. OMG does that stuff work!! WOW it made me go from about the hair loss you showed to literally 5-10 hairs lost ( normal is 100 hairs lost a day) the first use i saw no difference the 2nd ,y hairloss was sut in half 3rd use almost no hair loss at all. im using it now and at my 2 month mark so i wont know if it's working for another few months but for now i'm loosing almost no hair.

Hey All, ChEcking in.... i made an interesting discovery recently that reminded me to go back to basics. I went to the first horse show of the year. it was running around like a crazy person never eating breakfast alwasy hungry not drinking enough and low and behold i got home expecting to have lost 5 lbs and the the scale didn't move. the next day i went back on my norman breakfast 8 protein shake* 5/6 small meals and i had lost a pound. it reminds me to EAT BREAKFAST........HOPE YOU GUYS ARE DOING WELL have a great day

One thing to consider: The surgeons in Mexico are doing probably 20-50 surgeries a week The surgeons on the states are doing a few a month. Maybe a dozen? I read a report in the NY times stating you need a surgeon who has done at least 300 procedures. My surgeon in Mexico has done over 13,000. I had 0 post surgical pain and my mom said my surgery lasted about 1/2 an hour. I think doing so many they aRE A LOT more experienced. Personally I'm glad I went the Mexico route.

Hey girl I need to post my story. The sleeve is awesome I love my sleeve. I had a few problems there pertaining to being left at the airport with no call for over an he when I arrived, finally got a call saying he's 30 min away then another two hrs and finally the occ driver shows up acting like he's doing me a favor to pick me up. I thought he was a total dick. On the way home they left me to wait with my mom in a wheelchair for over 5 hours before my flight and totally were ride when I asked if I could just pay the hotel 80 to go at a better time for me. I also had bad problems with improperly administered Ivs. Even with all that I'm glad I went. I'm down 25 lbs in a month so I'm glad. I think dr O is a great surgeon. I'd be surprised if you could find better anywhere. My scars are almost non existent. Bring extra cash so you can leave when you want not the one or two trips a day Occ makes that's my advise. The hotel has someone that will take you fo 80 extra. Go that route .

I am also thinking of going to the Arial center for plastics. I'd be a lot more comfortable if i could see a lot of positive experiences like what i found with the sleeve patients. please post your findings and outcomes for u s all to see. I just got sleeved so i'm a ways away from getting my surgery but i'm definitely going to meed the mommy makeover LOL. surely thee are ppl on the boards here that have had work done there. i HATED the "free shuttle" thing OCC has going. i waited about 2.5 hours coming in and 8am till 3 pm leaving which was a HUGE pain in the ass. a few days after surgery the last thing i needed to be doing was waiting in the san diego airport for all day waiting for a flight that left at 3..... i got really sick because of taking the antibiotic and only having thin miso soup for lunch. like spewing in the middle of the airport sick.......they need to make more than one trip a day.

Hey Shalisa, I'm not trix I but if she doesn't reply shoot me a msg. I had VSG at OCC a few weeks ago. Awesome experience. I'm happy to answer any questions I can
