Conflict of Interest Disclosure
Financial and clinical relationships that could influence content.
Relationship with Obesity Control Center
SleevePlus.mx operates as an educational hub in partnership with the Obesity Control Center (OCC), a bariatric surgery facility in Tijuana, Mexico. Patients who request an evaluation via this site are typically referred to OCC.
Reviewer relationships
Reviewing clinicians (including Dr. Ariel Ortiz) are affiliated with OCC. Their compensation is not tied to specific content conclusions or to the number of leads generated by the site.
Industry relationships
We describe products such as the MagDI System and various GLP-1 medications factually and cite manufacturer regulatory data (e.g., FDA 510(k)) where relevant. SleevePlus.mx does not receive undisclosed payments from device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, or other product owners for editorial coverage.
How we manage conflicts
- Institutional claims are labeled "OCC-reported institutional information"
- Comparisons of procedures reference third-party evidence, not marketing materials
- Reviewer clinicians disclose any material conflicts to the editorial team
