Hello all,

I am new to the site and wanted to get some info from you all. I live in Texas and am unable to find a surgeon that performs the Gastric Plication. I am VERY interested in this procedure. I need to know, if possible, the cost, the locations were I can get the procedure done and healing time. Please help with this information as I am ready to shed these EXTRA pounds. I don't know how I will pay for it, but where there is a will, there is a way.

Thanks

Khay

Hi Khay,

I think there are a couple of doctors in Dallas doing plication. I found this one:

http://bscdallas.com/

I don't know anything about him though.

You are close enough to Mexico that that might be an option. Dr. Jose Rodriguez

is in Juarez and has a good reputation. You can search for him on YouTube

as well. I think he charges around 7K.

Dr. Corvala is in Tijuana and has IMO the most experience doing plication.

I haven't had the plication done yet as I'm waiting for insurance approval for

my band removal.

I think healing time is relatively quick as it's a laparoscopic procedure.

good luck to you!

Thank you so much. I will check the doctors out.

I had surgery with Dr. Corvala.....I am super happy with my surgery and weight loss....I don't know about Dr.s in Dallas....

You can check out my blog (in my signature line) and or PM if you have questions.....I was at the gym on the treadmill on day 6....ok not doing a full mile, but got 20 minutes in.....I also rode home 7 hours or so from Tijuana the day after surgery....recovery time differs from every body....but for me it was relatively easy....

Take care,

Dr. Guillermo Alvarez @ Endobariatric.com does plication near you. Don't know what he's like as surgeon... maybe some others on here may know. He's on youtube a bit, but you have to take into account that they're videos posted by him so they're gonna be good! Good luck.

Thanks so much. I'll check him out.
