Best Bariatric Surgeon around!!

After battling my weight for 25+ years and trying every known diet and fad diet on the market, I was fed up and desperate to get the weight off for good. I started looking into bariatric surgery options for myself and that’s when found Dr. Ariel Ortiz and the OCC. After extensive research, I knew with 100% certainty that they were going to be my choice. Not only is Dr. Ortiz a double Board Certified surgeon, but he is the only one that created and performs the DBT (Double Buttress Technique) that reinforces the staple line of the stomach during surgery to prevent any gastric leakage, which is exactly what I was so terrified of after having witnessed my mom recover from this very thing after her cancer surgery.
Traveling to the OCC in Tijuana from the States was a breeze. The OCC has everything set up for you and they are there to help guide you every step of the way before and after surgery. Dr. Ortiz and his surgical team gave me the tool I needed to far exceed any results I was able to do on my own! I had my surgery August 2, 2018 and so far, I have lost a total of 101 pounds and was actually able to fit into a skirt I haven’t worn since I was 17!! What?!? I have just recently had skin removal surgery, which has just been the icing on the cake and has allowed all that OCC helped me to accomplish finally come to the surface and be seen. I’m so grateful to have found Dr Ariel Ortiz and his amazing staff at the OCC! I’m finally living life to the fullest for the first time ever and I couldn’t be happier!
