Testimonials: After 25+ years of obesity and yo-yo doing I was exhausted! Everything in my body hurts. Walking up the stairs at home left me short of breath. I had tried every diet under the sun, only to gain the weight back. In February of 2022 I decided enough was enough!! OCC was recommended to me by two friends who have been there. I did my research and was highly impressed with their credentials. The support I received from day 1 was amazing!! I stayed at the extended pre-op the day I signed on the dotted line and never looked back!! As a registered nurse in the US I was absolutely floored by the care I received at OCC. The staff was top notch and the doctor's perfection. I know I received far better care than I ever would have in the states. Fast forward 9 months from surgery and I’m in love with my new life that this tool has afforded me! I’m officially down 100 pounds from my highest weight and working with a trainer to get into the best shape of my life! I can run, ride a bike, hike, buy clothes in sizes I only dreamed of a year ago, and have more energy than I did in my 20’s. I love knowing that even post op OCC is still there for me. They are just a phone call or email away. Hands down the best facility there is! Best decision I ever made!! I’ll be forever grateful to Dr. Ortiz and his team. I have my life back and am learning to love every second of my new found health!
