So today is my 7 week anniversary since I had my Plication. BEST CHOICE I HAVE MADE IN MY LIFE. Since 9/5 i am down 51lbs and am feeling great. I am out of my 40 day meal plan and am working in sensible meals throughout the day. Usually a protein shake in the morning, a greek yogurt for my morning break, a small protein based lunch, and a well balanced dinner. Two things that I have found a little difficult is knowing the difference between a thirst hunger and a real hunger. More times then not, I'm thirsty. Second is eating too quickly and feeling that full feeling hit me like a brick. I have to consciously eat slower so I can recognize when I'm getting full. It really doesn't take much to fill you up after the surgery. All in all it's been a great 7 weeks. Hope everyone else is seeing the results of this life changing procedure.

Hey all, So it's been one week since I had Plication preformed. I cannot be happier, I am down 10lbs. and feel great. I cannot wait until week 3 is complete so I can get back to the gym. The walking and hiking is nice, but I do miss lifting weights. I hope you all are having a great week! Regards, RPH

Hello all, I had made a life changing decision about 2 months ago to move forward with gastric plication. I am three days post operation and feel good, very minimal pain. Although I am a lot more hungry then I thought I would be. I have never had surgery before but Dr. Ortiz and his staff made sure that I had an awesome experience. I would highly recommend his facility and staff to anyone who is lucky enough to hit that reset button of life. I know this operation is going to make me much healthier and live a much longer life. I cannot express my gratitude enough to all of the staff at OCC, Thank you so much and I will keep everyone posted on my progress. Best regards, RPH
