Why OCC

Why choose gastric sleeve at OCC?

The gastric sleeve permanently reduces stomach capacity, limits portion sizes, and helps regulate appetite hormones — leading to significant, sustainable weight loss. OCC has refined the procedure over 20+ years with proprietary safety enhancements.

Reduces Hunger Hormones

Removing ~75–80% of the stomach significantly reduces ghrelin, the hormone that drives hunger.

Improved Gastric Sleeve®

OCC's Double Buttress Over-Sewing Technique creates a leak-proof seal and reduces acid reflux risk.

Sustainable Results

Patients typically lose 60–80% of excess weight with comprehensive long-term support.

5-Year Post-Op Care

All-inclusive concierge service with airport transfers, border guidance, and luxury accommodations.

Healthy balanced meal representing post-surgery lifestyle

A procedure refined over decades

Dr. Ariel Ortiz and the OCC team developed the Improved Gastric Sleeve® to address the most common complications of traditional sleeves. The result: faster recovery, reduced reflux, and one of the lowest complication rates documented in bariatric medicine.

  • Over 25,000 successful surgeries performed
  • Double Buttress Over-Sewing reinforcement
  • On-site ICU and 24/7 monitoring
  • Five years of inclusive post-op support
