Nutritional Philosophy
At OCC we have dedicated a decade and a half to helping patients reach their ideal weight with custom bariatric surgeries, accompanied by a five-year follow-up program. We use industry-leading surgical techniques and have performed over 26,000 successful surgeries at our private, state-of-the-art surgical center in Tijuana, one of the few international facilities that has earned the designation as a Center of Excellence. Our support for our patients goes far beyond performing the latest, safest, bariatric surgeries – our goal is total success, for the long term.
Nutrition and bariatric surgery
Over our years in practice, we have achieved an extraordinary level of knowledge and understanding about the factors contributing to obesity, and the best techniques to help our patients to achieve healthy weight loss. Dramatic weight loss requires more than surgery to achieve a truly healthy outcome.
The modern diet and healthy eating
Industrial food processing produces an array of appealing products, with additional chemicals for a long shelf life, and missing the micronutrients that are essential for true health. This condition creates hunger at a cellular level that perpetuates a terrible cycle.
People are literally starving themselves fat! The additional fat causes havoc in the metabolic balance, triggering a set of diseases that add insult to injury: diabetes, heart disease, and cancers.
Obesity and malnourishment go hand in hand.
Modern science now understands that being overweight or obese in, in fact, a state of malnourishment. In other words, calorie-dense foods do not have the essential micronutrients the human body needs to maintain a good state of health.
