I had this procedure done in may of 2013. Was at OCC with Dr Ortiz. The whole thing was a waste of time and money, in total I lost 6lbs was doing a whole lot better on my own when needed support or understanding they just wanted you to return to Mexico and undergo another surgery to restrict the plication more. My current dr in the states said No No don't go back to resolve this problem there only taking your money with no hope for a change that may not happen. Totally depressed about the whole thing..I gave up till 6 months ago, on 9/21/17 I am having a revision RNY. My nutritionist current says this has really messed with my metabolism (plication)-hopefully this current surgery can finally get me the results (tool) I'm looking for and be successful. Just be cautious on the choices you have...


Dreamingahead, I am sorry you had such poor results with your plication and wish you the success you dream of with your surgery this month. As with any surgery there are variable results. I had plication in July of 15 and am very happy with my results. Mary 0110 the scares are very small as with all laprosopic surgery. The largest one is still visible and maybe 1/2" long, the others you have to look for.

How did it go Mary? I am considering Ortiz too, but still researching and asking lots of questions, like is their a post-surg follow up?
