Hello Everyone, I am post op day 10 and extremely tired after walking 2 miles today. Since my surgery I have been walking daily but only in the house or when going to the store which has been every other day. When I was walking it felt as if I can feel my internal organs, it is kind of weird. Has anyone else experience this same feeling? How long before I can walk without feeling extremely tired? Prior to surgery I was walking about 6 miles a day

I had a post op appt Friday7/24 post op day 7 to have a drain removed, I lost 9.1lbs

Hello Everyone and thanks in advance for your help. I have been researching plication surgery for months now and is seriously considering having the procedure done with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I love the fact that OCC is a Center for Excellence ,that the team is highly experienced, and that Dr. Ortiz holds a certification from the American Society of Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery. With all of that being said I am still very nervous about having surgery in TJ. I have read research studies on plication surgery and found that this is a favorable procedure and is close to being approve here in the States by the FDA. I would love to hear from current and former patients about their experience with plication with Dr. Ortiz and his team. I would like to know about any complications, follow up care, pre & post dieting and your overall thought and feeling about deciding to have this procedure done with Dr. Ortiz and his team. I have been turned down my insurance 3 times and feel that going south of the border is my last option since out of pocket expenses for this surgery here in the States is sooooo high and I cant afford it. Thanks again Emerald
