Dr Orris and all the staff at Weight Loss Institute of Arizona are awesome. I have received so much support in the preparation stage of my journey that I feel completely comfortable in taking this next step of surgery. Dr Orris spent time explaining everything to me in terms that were easy to understand. He explained possible side effects and complications clearly. The follow up process was also explained. I feel like I am in the best hands I could be in for this life changing procedure. I highly recommend WLIA and Dr Orris.

I started my journey with Dr Orris before my situation required a doctor change to Dr. DeBarros. Dr. Orris was the first doctor I met at WLIA, and he confirmed my decision to choose WLIA was the right one. No question I asked was too small, and he covered all of my surgery options as we discussed my individual goals. I was impressed at the way the office was run and how amazing the staff has been. I am truly grateful for Dr. Orris and WLIA, and highly recommend him and his staff for your own journey.

I am 3 weeks post-op of the Lap Band completed by Dr. Orris and I simply cannot say enough positive things about him! He and his entire staff have been so helpful, caring and knowledgeable. I will forever be grateful for this experience and the options it has opened up to my family and I.
Thank you Dr. Orris!

I had my first Consultation with Dr. Orris and could not be more ready for this journey. The staff at WLIA has made this decision very easy to make. The finance people really help with budgeting and the nutritionist is very helpful in preparing me for what to expect. I would definitely recommend the Weight Loss Institute of Arizona to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery. They answered all of my questions thoroughly and will do the same for you.

I saw Dr. Orris for the fist time today and I was extremely impressed. He answered all of my questions, showed me exactly where the incisions would be, and explained the procedure to me, making me feel comfortable with the decision that I have made. All of his staff were friendly and very knowledgeable.

My entire life I struggled with obesity. I had low energy and was tinkering with the onset of diabetes and high blood pressure. I knew at the age of 22 that if I did not make a decision to change my life, I would forever be a prisoner to my weight. On March 13, 2008, I had the lap band surgery performed by Dr. Orris and Dr. Debarros. The day of my surgery I weighed 240 pounds. On the one year anniversary of my surgery, I weighed 140 pounds. I have since had a successful pregnancy. I eat in moderation and exercise daily. If it had not been for this surgery, I do not know if I could realistically have lost my weight. I am most grateful to the staff and doctors at WLIA. This by far was the best decision of my life!!
