  1. Hi there, I had my plication surgery on March 29/11 in TJ with Dr.Ortiz and Dr. Martinez and to date I have lost 36 lbs. It came off quickly at first now it has slowed down but still going down and thats the main thing. I am now on regular food but very small portions. I find it is almost impossible to over eat as I feel very full and if you try to eat more than you should you start to feel sick ( which is good ).I find fruit and veggies are easier to eat as to meat but I have small portions which make it easier, my granddaughter (6 ) can eat more than me.The only side affect I have is the heartburn ... its mostly at night but not every night so I have to sleep with 2 pillows to keep me elevated but the heartburn meds I receieved from Dr. Ortiz work very well.Other than the heartburn and nausea ( 1st two days ) I have had no pain or other side effects and I am very happy I took the plunge and had the surgery. I live in Canada and I heard they did the surgery here but it was very very expensive as to going to TJ. Plus this way my husband and I got a lil holiday out of our trip.I had the surgery on the tuesday and was out sightseeing on the thursday .I would recommend this surgery to anyone looking to lose weight.
  2. Hi Kelly, My name is Teresa I had my gastric plication surgery on March 29 2011. So far I have lost 36 pounds. I know if I was to be exercising I would be down even more. But I have not started a regular exercise routine yet.No real reason why I haven't acutally I have just been busy with dayhome and stuff. After I had my surgery I was feeling great the following day I went back to our hotel room and rested for the rest of the day. The only side affect I had was nausea for a few days and some heart burn ( which I never had before ) I still to this day get heartburn but mostly at night so I sleep with 2 pillows as to the one. The meds they give for heartburn really work well.As th the other posts who state they have had hair loss I have not experienced that at all. I am very happy that I had the surgery and no regrets. The hospital and staff are very nice. We stayed at the Lucerna hotel and it was very nice our room was on the 6th floor and the veiw was beautiful . The staff at the Lucerna were pleasant and helpful. Our whole experience through this was great I am happy I booked the surgery and so is my husband . I would recommend this procedure and the OCC to anyone looking to better there life through weightloss. I feel great I have no other problems from the surgery and I have so far dropped 5 sizes and plan to go down even more .So I wish you all the best when you go for your surgery next month I know you won't regret it. Just rememder the nausea lasts only a day or two and they say to walk as much as you can and it will help.
