I think I've finally decided....

Well, I think I've finally chosen Dr. Rodriguez for my Gastric Plication. My band will most likely have to come out and he can do everything at once. I have an appointment with my band dr. here in L.A. to check my esophagus (it's dilated) and if everything looks okay I can go ahead and book my surgery with Dr. Rod. I'll be having it done at the Tijuana facility, most likely in November or December depending on when I can get off of work! yeah!!!

Now, I need to find 7K!

Thanks to everyone who's already had surgery for sharing your stories.

Keep em comin'!!

Where is Rodriquez located and is that the total price 7 k??

[genepha 47]

Hi,

I believe he's mainly out of Juarez, Mexico but he also performs surgery in Tijuana which is where I'll be having surgery (hopefully!). My surgery is 7K because I have to have

the band removed first prior to the plication. I think if it's just plication it's $6,200.

You can do a search for him and find his information.

I am still considering Dr. Corvala as I have experience with him from fills with my band

and I really liked him and his staff. They are more expensive though - I think around 8K.

Good luck to you!

I went with Dr. Rod and he's FABULOUS!!! His whole team was wonderful. Good luck...it's seriously worth EVERY penny~ promise!

Hi Tina,

Did you have a plication or sleeve?

I'm actually considering both, I'm just not sure which one is for me yet.

thanks for any information!
