Ive heard of representatives/coordinators of different doc's in mexico making up user id's and promoting the particular surgeon. Apparently it is common, and a shame that it happens... but they do it for shady business... Maybe the OCC needs pt's right now??? lol, I don't know. I've been just weeding through pt experiances with certain doc's and tossing ones that don't look legit or I've noticed more than once. \

Hi Beth. I believe I replied to one of your posts. Plus I have posted the account of my surgery on here too.

I am a real patient, not affiliated with OCC at all. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Hmmm. That makes me sad. :( I chose OCC because I only read wonderful things about OCC and Dr. Ortiz, and I have a friend that had the sleeve there over the summer and is doing fantastically well with her new tummy! I'm 100% happy I chose OCC and cannot wait to be there in less than a week!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
