We are proud to announce that OCC has been accredited by the Joint Commission International

There has been a lot of patients that have used the Ariel Center for various plastic surgery procedures. Some are very open and may contact you with their experiences. As far as pricing goes, contact Ora at the Ariel Center, her phone number is 866-376-7849 ext 85. I personally had a LBL done in 2008 at another plastic surgery center and had all kinds of complications. When Dr. Medina came on board with the Ariel Center, I had him look at my issues and he was able to repair my LBL. I was amazed that he could "fix me". Being a volunteer moderator here at the Forum, I can say that I haven't heard any complaints about Dr. Medina or the Ariel Center. Everyone raves about the quality of his plastic surgery skills and his professionalism. Plus,, he comes across as a really nice guy.

I'd like to thank Facebook member Dana for bringing this to our attention. http://www.10news.com/news/team-10-first-formal-complaints-filed-against-weight-loss-doctor-081915?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=fanpage

This Topic is for those who are coming to the OCC for their Plication surgery in 2016. This is where you can meet patients that will be at the OCC the same time as you.

I was in TJ last week finishing up a dental implant I had done last May. Here's a picture of my wife and I, Dr. Lugo and his assistant Susan. I just love my dental implants.

Being the OCC Forum moderator, I've notice we have a lot of visitors here everyday. The OCC Forum contains a vast wealth of information and patient testimonials. We're here to pass all this WLS experience to all who ask. Hopefully, our members share their experiences with us and we all learn from them. There's really not much difference being a visitor versus an OCC Forum member except, visitors can't post anything or ask questions. So I'm urging all of our visitors to the OCC Forum to think about joining, We'd love to hear your experiences and feel free to ask questions, this is what we're here for, to learn.

Yes,, go with the fill. I always loved my band. I had great results with my band.

Sounds like your a candidate for the "Sleeve".

Here's another chart showing portions

This week I'm down here in TJ having Hiatial Hernia repair. Things are going great so far, and I don't expect any different. Everyone at the OCC has been above and beyond in the professialism and hospitality department. I wish to make a comment concerning the OCC's new van driver Omar. The OCC has really picked a winner here. Omar has taken this position to a new level. He's the first person your going to meet when you arrive in San Diego. He's very friendy and professional, the van is very clean and nice looking. Omar is a great asset to the OCC team. So far my surgery and stay in TJ has been great. I couldn't ask for anything more which the OCC hasn't done already. I hope everyone that comes to the OCC has this kind of experiance and the OCC maintains this level of service to all of its patients. I have also noticed something different in TJ. It seems that this town has stepped up its image and I've noticed that it's much friendlier and cleaner that the last time I was here. I hope this tread continues.
