Dr. Michael J. Orris - WLIA - Tempe, AZ



Recommended Posts

Overall the clinical staff is fantastic!

Dr. Orris has been very good - I believe conservative with my band fills, but I respect his judgment. The nursing staff and dietician have been helpful and are very friendly. Yet, the billing staff when trying to get matters of insurance payments resolved was VERY challenged. I would and have recommended Dr. Orris and his clinical staff, but recognize working with his administrative staff and getting insurance in line will be a lesson in patience.

Everyone at WLIA has been wonderful! I have gone through my 6 months of diet before surgery then my few months before my surgery and everyone has been so fantastic at answering my calls an fears as well as my concerns all the time before my surgery and now afterwards. I cant say enough good about Dr Orris and the wonderful staff that work at all of the offices an both of the Nutritionist! Everyone is so caring and dedicated to what they do and I thank you for all of your support now then and in the future!

I saw Dr Orris as part of my weight loss journey in the surgical center. He performed an endoscopy prior to my lapband surgery. I found him to be very professional. He answered all questions thoroughly.

The staff at the surgery center and at The WLIA offices are great!!

I love this place! After a friend had surgery through another company that was just horrible to her, she started going to WLIA instead and the difference was like night and day. Dr. Orris and his staff has given her more success and a support system that wasn't available elsewhere. Because of her reviews, I will always pick WLIA! The group meetings are friendly and you feel welcome every time you attend. Michael Murphy is the best Nutritionist you could ask for. Everyone on the staff have been friendly and helpful.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
