All, I was Sleeved in May of 2012 in SC but have a friend that is Self Pay and has to go to Mexico for Surgery. I think she is leaning towards Dr. Ortiz. Any Comments about him would help!! Thanks and hope all of you are doing well.

I was there 4/15 and had a wonderful experience. It was everything I hoped it would be and even more. My bf was very skeptical but the staff and Drs even impressed him.

803Misty - I have a very good friend from SC that was sleeved last May by Dr. Ortiz and has had a wonderful experience. Actually I have 2 friends that have been sleeved by Dr. Ortiz and both are very happy with their choice. I'm scheduled for June 10th and can't wait!

Do not recommend him. I was sleeved by him on 8/7/2012. Never get surgery out of state/the country at a CLINIC! Find a hospital. I was asked to leave Dr. Ortiz's clinic the night I had surgery. I had a minor complication (which his PA vaguely explained) and could not even get myself out of bed. The nurses, who barely speak any English started packing for me and putting my stuff outside. They said they needed to get the room ready for the next "patient". And oh, you will never see Dr. Ortiz, hear from him, or be able to get in touch with him after your surgery, but you will receive annoying and systematic follow up emails that route you to a survey where you are asked about your progress - so you can further Dr. Ortiz's celebrity-like success.

Sorry you had a bad experience...I met three other girls there when I was getting sleeved and we all were very pleased with him and his staff. Yes, it did seem to be more of a clinic, but a very nice one. We all stayed there the night of our surgery. And there was one nurse that was more difficult to understand but she was very kind and accommodating to me. I was sick after the surgery and all night. I personally would recommend him to my friends and family.

Which Dr. Ortiz and out of which hospital?

My friends went to Ariel Ortiz at the OCC. I have never heard such things about Dr Ariel Ortiz.

It’s Dr. Ariel Ortiz that operates out of a clinic. Dr. Elias Ortiz operates out of a Hospital. I booked through A Lighter Me for him and surgery was at Mi Doctor Hospital. Very new, clean and modern! I saw Dr. Elias Ortiz several times during my stay.

Ariel Ortiz works out of OCC (obesity control center) it's a nice place. I didn't use him but I did consider him.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
