HoosierGirl 780 Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Beth - I was sleeved by Dr. Ortiz at Obesity Control Center 2/4/13. I was very pleased with the level of care, the nurses, follow up suport, and am losing weight! Initially, I was pretty nervous about traveling for the surgery but it was really great. The doctors spoke great english, nurses spoke well enough to communicate, and I specifically liked the Nutrionist, Dr. Miranda. You can read more details on my blog and are welcome to send me a private message if you have questions. Good luck! Do a lot of research, talk to a lot of people, and be sure you feel comfortable about your decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deltadawn817 106 Posted March 5, 2013 I was sleeved at OCC Dr. Ortiz on 3/12/12 and I had a wonderful experience. I still even keep in contact with two gals that I met while there. Both are from Canada. I really liked Dr. So I had some complications with medication and had to get a shot in the butt the next day after surgery and something in my IV as I started to get hives and my lips were HUGE.
