Hello,
First I should tell you that I had my surgery less than a year ago...matter of fact it was April 2, making it just 2 months ago. I'm very short, 4'8" and weighed 166.5 lbs. with a BMI of 37.5,
I have lost 30lbs so far. I hope to lose another 20. I'm thrilled with my surgery. I've lost fast and steady. I should also tell you that I ended up with gall bladder surgery less than a month after the Plication surgery. I was having Gall Bladder problem before plication surgery and too stubborn to tell the doctors. I was afraid they would not do my surgery.
So my advice to all those considering plication surgery.
If you are having gall bladder problem or tummy problems tell the dr.
I am so glad I had the surgery. I have lost at least 2 clothing sizes.
I look so much better but more importantly I feel better. My ankles no longer swell. I'm not as clumsy. I have more energy. I'm happier about me.
Thank you to Dr. Ortiz and the whole staff. You are terriffic.
Debra
