Testimonials: One year ago I had VSG surgery with Dr. Ortiz, it was the second best decision of my life! Having my daughter was the first of course. I took back my health after trying EVERY diet under the sun. Having weight loss surgery at OCC was one of the best medical treatment experiences I’ve ever had! The medical staff was so nice and took their time making sure you knew what was happening. After surgery I never had to ask for anything they knew when something was needed. I am officially down 93 lbs and I can keep up with my crazy 2 year old! Before surgery I was dealing with postpartum preeclampsia with severe blood pressure issues and I was almost full blown diabetic. I was gaining weight and couldn’t figure out why. Flash forward 12 months… I am off my 2 blood pressure pills and my A1C is in normal range. I can also run Soooo I would do it all over again in a heart beat and am looking forward to what the next year has to bring because this is a life long journey not a quick fix! I also would love to come back to the Ariel Center for plastics at some point.
