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.

I went to Dr Ortiz for myplication surgery. Best decision we have made! I've lost 60#s and have not looked back!

No discomfort at all. The follow up diet is very easy to follow. I do get full faster. I followed the diet plan as they advised. I have a friend who also had the same surgery and she is doing awesome. A couple of times she over ate and trust me, she won't do that again. You will do great. Follow all of their directions and you will do fine!

I know nothing about Mexico, etc., but just wanted to chime in that I'm a teensy bit envious of the whole Plication thing -- did not know about that when I had my surgery. Had never even heard the word. Best wishes to you and congratulations on choosing yourself and your healthy future. Way to go!

PS Have fun in Mexico.....
