Ortiz And Alighterme



Recommended Posts

I had VGS in June with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center. I couldn't have asked for better care!

The Doctors and Center are wonderful!!! It was more expensive than some of the others but I don't regret that a bit!

I looked into a few other places that was less expensive but glad I choose OCC and Dr. Ortiz.< /p>

Good Luck!

I originally booked with him and cancelled and I am glad I did. A girl that was there at the same time had some major complications and it seemed like he didn't care at all. Take it for what it's worth but be careful!

Wow, that is a shocker if you are talking about Dr. Ariel Ortiz!

Dr. Ortiz, Dr. Martinez, Dr. Miranda and the entire staff was wonderful when I was there. They took extra time and spoke to all the patients at length. The care I was given was wonderful. The day after my surgery, I wasn't feeling very good. Not so much pain but just didn't feel like I should. They took me right in and gave me an IV (not enough sipping Water on my part) and made sure I was much much better before I left.

I have never had such concern and great care by doctors and a facility here in the States. I was totally impressed!

So sorry to hear someone else had a bad experience! : (

I too had surgery w/ Dr Ariel Ortiz @ OCC and can't say enough good things about him and all the staff. They responded to emails b4 and after. Sent followup surveys on my health every Monday for several weeks. I marked one small comment on one and got a phone call from the doctor w/in 1 hr of response to discuss.

      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.
