My surgery went well. Had pain for almost three weeks as they had to remove the band first. I guess it took a while to remove. I'm still on soft food but comsumption is way down. Won't be able to see how this really works until I get on regular food. But I think it's going to work really well. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Martinez and staff are the best in the business. The facility is first class. Honestly. That's why I picked them. Some doctors are cheaper but when it comes to me, I don't do cheaper. I want the best. If you go with Dr. Ortiz you won't be disappointed. Let me know what you decide.

Thanks you so much for responding so quickly! I would really like for Dr. Ortiz to do my surgery, but, it is so far, I live in Kentucky. If anything went wrong what would I do? I don't think I can make myself comfortable with the distance. All my best to you!

I'm having my gastric plication surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center in TJ on Nov. 8th. They will be removing my gastric band at the same time.

Hello SuziM, I am just beginning to research the Plication and think it's the WLS for me! Wanted to congratulate you on you surgery and ask some questions if I may? How did your surgery go? How are you doing since it's almost been a month out? Did you like Dr. Ortiz and his team? How was the facility? I'm asking b/c I don't know if anyone in my area does this procedure, and was on his site yesterday. How did you decide on OCC and Dr. Ortiz? Thanks in advance for answering!
