OSM Program

Obesity is an ever increasing epidemic. Everyday there are so called “miracle cures” that promise you magical weight loss without any adverse affects. These products offer you a better, healthier life that can be obtained simply by taking XY&Z and waiting for the weight to melt off. Unfortunately, the only loss you may experience may be to your wallet and/or your health. There is a better, healthier way for you to achieve the weight loss you seek.

Obesity Surgeons Mexico (OSM) is a comprised of a group of medical experts who’s principal objective is to help people improve their overall body image and self esteem though healthy, beneficial weight loss.

As a patient, you are the main player in the OSM team. You are an active participant in every step of your weight loss journey and OSM team is right there with you both pre and post surgery to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

Once a patient is deemed a surgical candidate, the OSM team coordinates the entire medical tests that are necessary. Tests include thorough examinations by our Cardiologist and Endocrinologist and a complete evaluation by our Anesthesiologist prior to surgery. The patient’s health and well being are our main concern throughout this entire weight loss process.

Formula diets does not work for everyone; most of these diets suffer from the same conditions: rules that are too strict to follow, food plans that are too complicated or cumbersome for daily life, and food list that are too restrictive leaving the person feeling unsatisfied and unhappy. We at OSM understand this completely and offer a much more realistic approach to a patient’s nutritional needs. The Nutritional Orientation plan places emphasizes the proper protein and carbohydrate ratio a patient needs to achieve healthy weight loss and also helps them develop nutritionally sound eating habits that reinforce an overall healthy diet they can follow the rest of their lives.

Our nutritional approach includes not only the quantity of food a client eats, but also analyzing the current available items in the supermarket to help them make the best choices for them. This allows the patient the freedom to eat as they normally do; enjoying the food they are accustomed to eating but in healthier, reduced portions.

At OSM, we understand the tremendous psychological impact obesity has on a person’s life. To help with any of these types of issues, we have a licensed Psychologist on staff. Our Psychologist, Ms. Silvia Tavitas Herrera has many years experience working in the field of obesity and is fully qualified to provide any psychological support OSM patients may need.

OSM is dedicated to making the obesity surgery process as safe, productive, and gratifying as possible. Our surgeons have many years of surgical experience. Our Chief of Staff, Dr. Olivares Gonzalez has over nine years experience performing obesity surgeries. From his surgical residency under a leading obesity surgeon 1999 and continuing into private practice under the direction of a prominent obesity surgeon in Monterey, Mexico, Dr. Olivares Gonzalez has many years performing gastric bypasses, gastric banding and gastric sleeves. His level of expertise also includes resolving and/or revising complications arising from obesity surgeries as he spent over a year exclusively resolving complications that arose from patients that had undergone obesity surgery under other doctors. Patients of OSM can rest assured knowing that Dr. Olivares Gonzalez has the experience and skills to perform a first class obesity surgery and should any complications arise, he and his staff is fully capable to resolve them completely.

The patient’s relationship with OSM does not end with the conclusion of the surgery. We at OSM believe that ongoing support is very significant for anyone going through a life changing event like obesity surgery. OSM offers continual support for our patients via our online support group called New Life and our OSM Magazine. We provide these services for our patients because we are truly committed to make their journey to healthy life as stress free and successful as possible.
