Dr. Ariel Ortiz and The Obesity Control Center



Recommended Posts

Has ANYONE ever had any work done, or have friends who have had work done, or any frickin first or second hand information about Dr Ariel Ortiz and Obesity Control Center? ? I have posted before and no reply by anyone. Kind of hard to believe.

Am I posting to the wrong blog? Newbie here looking for answers.
Thanks.

I remember back in 2009 when I got my band people on the boards would talk about him all the time. I haven’t seen anything recently. Have you tried doing a search either on this site or with Google?

THANK YOU for your reply. I was starting to think this thing was broken, haha. (Not really)

I have done plenty of google searches but there doesn’t seem to be much that is recent, like even in the last year. Lots of good reviews but mostly from 2016 and prior. So that is why I thought reaching out here might help.

Is there a different forum I should post this question to ya think?
Thanks again.

I think there is a forum for Drs, try there. But also try doing a search on this site. I live in Australia so I really have no idea if he is good bad or ugly!

I had my VSG with Dr. Ortiz on 7/31/18. No complaints whatsoever. I traveled from NJ and my mom came along as my companion. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. OCC has a secret Facebook group that was extremely helpful and supportive - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OCCSleeveSupportGroup. They keep it private so no one knows you're a member, just in case of judgmental peeps :)

I am having the same problem finding any recent reviews. I did try using their online chat feature on OCCs website and nobody ever answered my chat request.

I was banded by Dr. Ortiz in 2012 and just got a revision (no problems, just not enough aftercare support in the states for the Mexican bandsters) to the sleeve on Thursday (March 7). I’m still sitting in the hotel recovering now and won’t be flying home until Monday night.

If there’s anything in particular I can help with, please let me know.

      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.
