Marlene Rivas

The accreditations- certificates-reviews-and Dr ortiz’s live videos

My name is Marlene and I am 30 years old. After losing my father to obesity in 2018 I decided change was mandatory! I was so big I was scared to even sit in a plastic chair because the thought of it breaking was so terrifying to me. I decided my life was too good to be living sad and depressed because of my weight. I thought my son should not feel what I felt after losing my dad.After searching for Doctors I thank OCC for doing their lives and their patient reviews since this was what gave me the trust to choose them. 4 months post op I have now lost 90 lbs thanks to this life changing tool I was given. I now find myself doing things I wouldn’t be able to do before like crossing my legs in a chair and not worrying if I’ll find clothing that will fit in any store. I can’t wait for my future changes. You guys are the best!!
