Anyone have the gastric plication. If so how was your weight loss? It is less invasive but not all.surgeons perform it Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes dr Ortiz and Obesity control center are awsome. I'm an RN and lots of research before my sleeve in may. JCI ACCREDITED. Center of excellence. 54 lb gone. No regrets. No issues. He's the best

You'll be successful. I was surprised that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Good luck

My experience was much like yours. Dr Ariel Ortiz is a great surgeon. I've lost 52 lb since sleeved 5/21. 204 to 148

I was sleeved may of this year. 50 lb gone. I can't say anything negative about OCC dr Ortiz is an excellent surgeon. No issues whatsoever. The Marriott is a great place to recover as well

Was scheduled for a sleeve recently. Then I cancelled it and decided to try weight watchers (for the 4th time) after 1 month very minimal weight loss. Currently 198 and 5ft 6in. My goal weight is160. One part of me says just keep struggling with weight watchers . The other part say go for the surgery. I'm 66 yrs old and in good health except for sleep apnea and gerd. Any suggestions much appreciated Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved 5/21. By dr Ariel Ortiz. Wonderful facility. The visiting hrs didn't bother me or my husband. We both need rest. Absolutely no issues. I'm an RN and did lots of research. No problems with payment. Cashiers check no problems

Not familiar with the 2 you mentioned. Good luck with your surgery

I agree 100% with the other comment. I haven't gone to my pcp after surgery because I'm only 5 weeks out. They recommend labs in 7 to 8 months. I do t anticipate an issue. People have negative impressions of Mexico. When they don't even have the whole story. Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC is wonderful. Can't say anything negative about the facility. I've heard good things about your Dr as well. My husband became more supportive after I explained the health aspects . Less knee pain, feeling better. Improved cholesterol, more energy. If u have blood pressure or diabetes it will improve.

Being evaluated now and hopefully get schedule for May. Appreciate any comments on him. I see great reviews and as an R.N. I've gone a ton of research Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Never us did I feel worried. Relatively very safe procedure. I went to DR ARIEL ORTIZ at OCC. Top notch. I did a lot of research as an R.N. the facility is JCI accredited which is very important when choosing a facility I was sleeved May 21st. Absolutely no issues

My nutritionist never discussed them. She recommends all natural, vitamins and minerals no artificial ingredients. Don't know why a nutritionist would do that

I had excellent care at OCC. With Dr Ariel Ortiz. Obesity Control Center. JCI accredited. Tijuana. I'm an R. N. And did tons of research

That's great Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Same date . How are you doing. I'm feeling very full after protein shakes. But otherwise good Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

So glad you're doing well. My sleeve was May 21st. Getting in my hydration and started on protein shakes today. Feeling fuller quicker than with clear liquids. Still gassy as well. But all is good. Good luck Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Completed questionnaire for Dr Corvala. Very thorough. I did a lot of research on several physicians. I feel he's right for me. Any comments are welcome. Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

I heard wonderful results . I'm an R.N and did lots of research I'm havi g my sleeve with Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

My date is the 21st. Liquids pre op is not too bad. Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

On my 2 wk liquid diet, I'm allowed 4 to 6 cups of green leafy vegetables plus 3 to 4 protein shakes. I chose Jay Robb as it is low in carbs and sugar and no artificial ingredients I can also have sugar free popsicles and jello. I m on my 2nd day and doing well Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

My understanding is that the pre op diet helps to shrink your liver so it is not in the way when surgery is done. Either way it's not a bad idea to do it as it gets you in the mindset of drinking shakes and smaller portions Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Not nervous yet. I'm an R.N. so I have a good understanding of what to expect post op. I heard everyone at OCC is great. I'm sure we will all be fine

Good luck with your surgery. Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app
