A True Partner in Weight Loss
At OCC, we believe our patients deserve comprehensive, ongoing care to achieve the best possible result, and true long-term success. Our partnership with our patients includes a five-year follow-up program. The program is delivered through our online support groups and our team of U.S.-based on-call patient coordinators. When you undergo weight loss surgery at the OCC state-of-the-art clinic, you are not just another patient – you are part of our family, and we support you for the long term.
We Guide You through the Three Phases of Weight Loss
Losing the excess weight goes through three basic phases and we guide you throughout the journey. After your surgery is completed, you will be guided on the nutritional care for each phase
Recovery nutritional care
This phase lasts for about 40 days following your surgery.
Extreme weight loss nutritional care
This phase runs for 40 days to 9 months.
Weight stabilization nutritional care
This phase starts at 9 months and continues thereafter.
Nutrition and You – Lifestyle Changes that Work for the Long Term
Our approach is to ensure you understand how your body functions, and how your body, being starved of the critical nutrients necessary to good health has resulted in a combination.
Our Nutritional Counseling Support and You
Bariatric surgery is not a cure for obesity—it’s the cornerstone of a lifelong journey toward better health. We believe that post-surgical nutrition counseling is the key to sustained success. Your OCC team of nutritional support specialists, psychologists, and medical professionals provides a personalized, science-based program to help you adapt to your new nutritional needs and maintain your results for life.
The phases of the journey to weight loss and better health
Our nutritional support program begins before your surgery and continues through each phase of your weight loss journey. The pre-surgery phase prepares your body for the procedure. In the early post-surgery period, we guide you through liquid and soft food stages. As you progress, our team helps you build lasting, healthy eating habits that support your goals over the long term.
Five years of ongoing support: The OCC way
What sets OCC apart is our commitment to your success beyond the operating room. Every bariatric surgery patient receives five full years of post-operative nutritional and lifestyle support. Our certified dietitians work with you one-on-one to fine-tune your nutrition plan, monitor your progress, and address challenges as they arise—ensuring you achieve and maintain the best possible outcomes.
