#EOC Weight Loss Journey

October 21 - 23, 2022 at Paradise Point | San Diego, CA

Join Us for the First Annual Elias Ortiz and Company Conference.

The most successful weight loss patients share something in common. They know losing weight isn't magic. It's a lifestyle that takes strength, nutrition, and community.
 
This lifestyle takes center stage at the very first Elias Ortiz and Company conference.
 
Our Facebook Group is a great place to meet others who are on similar journeys. But now, we invite you to meet them, our team members, and surgeons in person in sunny San Diego, California.
 
Dr. Elias Ortiz is one of the leading weight loss surgeons in the world applauded by both patients and peers. As the chief surgeon of Elias Ortiz and Company he helps thousands of patients reach their weight loss goals every year. He is also a professor of bariatric surgery teaching and sharing his expertise with up-and-coming surgeons. His interest in sharing his expertise has taken him all over the world from Oxford University to Lima, Peru.
