Going to TJ for Plication at OCC with Dr Ortiz



Recommended Posts

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?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
