It went awesome no side effects or complications. Im down about 40 Lbs if you have any ??? LMK

I would love to know this as well!!! I was looking into the same surgeon.

looking at OCC for VSG. my red flag is visiting hours ending at 4pm and no family allowed to stay overnight with you in hospital / clinic. it's odd.

anyone who had surgery at OCC have issue with this?

i also read some people state that the payment was sketchy in that credit cards aren't taken and wanting cashier checks? is this the case?

ortiz is board certified and clinic is joint commission compliant. strict visiting hours are odd though.

lots of + reviews for dr. illan... i can find info on the facility and it doesn't seem he's board certified bariatric surgeon.

thanks in advance for any info-

HI,

I am a nurse doing research on surgeons and surgeries and wanted to reply since no one else has so far. I have not seen a lot on Dr Lopez, but everything was positive. As far as the reflux, I have that also. All clinical studies say the bypass is not as likely to cause reflux as the sleeve will. Bypass is also not as likely to make reflux worse. That being said reflux is often a result of diet, not always but often. Studies do show to improve reflux, more sleeve patients have to alter diet within the years after surgery where bypass balances out with or without diet changes.

All bariatric surgeries may have reflux problems that can resolve the first two years, so do not be alarmed right away.

Sorry not much help,

Good luck,

Tracy
