My surgery was May 20, 2015 w/ Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico. So far I've lost 73lbs. Good luck to you.

I had gastric plication and I'm in Houston. I'm happy w/my decision.

My Gastric plication surgery is May 20, 2015. My 2-week diet diet consist of 3 Protein Shakes, all the green veggies I wanted and a lean 4 oz Protein. I never truly had the 3 protein shakes a day but I did my best. I only have I clear liquid diet day. Since I'm having plication, I can start my Protein Shake as soon after I get home from surgery. Sw 250 cw 240 and still on preop diet.

I'm 240 lbs, type 2 diabetic and have hypertension. My doctor made me stop taking the metformin as well. I was feeling jittery when my sugar went extremely low. It was a scary feeling.H

My surgery is w/Dr. Ariel Ortiz at OCC in Tijuana on May 20, 2015. I found out about him from Dr. Oz and Oprah show. Then I watched him perform the surgery on YouTube. Didn't notice any other doctors performing the surgery on YouTube. He's a little pricier than other Tijuana doctors.
