I am leaning towards plication surgery. I would like to have this done by Dr. Watkins. My second choice is Ortiz. Please share your thoughts on either Dr.

Howdy! I think that Dr. Watkin is certainly good at what he does, but I believe that Dr. Ortiz has been doing the plication longer. I am scheduled on the 16th with Dr. Ortiz and I have spoken with him and others that have used him and all have great things to say! I am in AZ so Dr. Ortiz was closer for me and also cheaper! Can't beat that!!!

I had my plication with Doctor Watkins. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! I know that a LOT of people have had great success with surgery in Mexico, but it was something that I was just never comfortable with. I think in the end that choosing a doctor is more of an emotional choice; either way you go you will be happy!

Thanks for the input.

I could never get comfortable with the Mexico option. Even with all the wonderful success stories.

I am having plication on March 9th by Dr. Watkins in Ohio. I am not scared about anything but the post op gas pains, and the plane ride home.

Flying is a breeze. Just make sure you TAKE and HAVE your medicine with you.. AND GasX strips.. I packed all my stuff and suffered for hours! The rest of the whole experience was easy.
