Scroll down on the home page and there is a thread called Mexico self pay. Lots of stories there. That's my choice!

I was sleeved by Dr Garcia in Tijuana 8 days ago and it was a very positive experience.

Dr Ortiz did my lapband surgery, which I am now revising to a sleeve this summer. The most unprofessional group of people I have ever worked with.

Just an FYI; there has been a history the past few years of him having to 'fix' his own sleeve surgeries due to his inexperience.

I am NOT going to him for revision because of the word of mouth going around his forum OCC Forum.

So far there are two who have already revised from his band to the sleeve (my girlfriends) and both have used Dr Aceves with amazing results.

Just wanting you to know. Good luck

I'm curious too about these 'fixes' Dr. Ortiz is doing. Can you show us where these posts on the OCC forum? I'd like to message these people.

Thanks.

This is really interesting. Especially since this is your only post and very different than my experience with his staff. Do you have more information?

When I was at the OCC there he was doing three band to sleeve revisions. One gentleman had flown from New Zealand specificly so Dr. Ortiz could do his revision.

I had an awesome experience with Dr Ortiz and OCC... I highly recommend him and his staff!!! I traveled alone to Mexico and they made sure I was safe and everything went perfect!!!

This is the first negative post I've seen about OCC and dr Ortiz. I'm shocked and worried as I am set to go there on April 15th. Can anyone tell me more??
