Dr. Cottam in Salt Lake City doing Sleeve Plication for less than $6500



Recommended Posts

Hey Lisa.... I get in about 3/4 cup or about 6 oz of food, depending on density at one sitting. Tonight we BBQ'd so I had 1/2 a bratwurst and about 2 oz of fillet (beef). I also had a forkful of potato salad. I eat anywhere from 700-900 calories a day depending on the day.... How are you doing?

Hi there, I am doing fine, I am still saving money to get my surgery I will be getting it in Nov or Dec, I am just wanting to get as much info as I can possibly get..

Thank you for answering me.

Congrat on your weight loss!!

Lisa~

I can't find the other 2 US docs that do the plication for the life of me. In all my research I've found Dr. Cottam, the Mexico doc and I saw something somewhere about a doc at the University of Florida but when I looked him up I didn't find anything about him doing this type of surgery. Guess I'll just sit back and wait awhile and keep trying to lose weight on my own until more info becomes available. Thanks for all the info!!!!

Hi, K... you probably have discovered by now that the other surgeon in the US who has done the most VSPs is Dr. Watkins, in Cincinnati Weight Loss Clinic. He's done like 12 or 13 by now.... I've heard real good things about him. Good luck!! That's the surgery I'm going to have, and hope to go to Dr. Watkins.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
