Gigi11 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I am seriously considering surgery at OCC because I do not qualify in the US. My Bmi is 31, however it might as well be 51. I am so uncomfortable in my own skin that I need to do something. Excercise, dieting and food logging isn't getting me out of the obese category! My questions: Does the hospital at OCC abide by the same or similar standards as US hospitals? Is it inspected by a team to make certain that it's up to par? How often? How do I know I will be getting the gastric sleeve that was agreed upon? Following surgery, how can they tell if there is no leakage? OCC's & Dr. Ariel Ortiz have outstanding marketing. How do I know for sure that they are legitimate? Is the sleeve surgery safe for older females? I am 58 and I see blogs from much younger people. Does the staff speak English ? What happens if my pre-op lab work doesn't pass the day before surgery? How many days should I plan for surgery before flying home? I appreciate your responses.
