I am not sure if I have begun this correctly. I just registered on this site. My endocrinologist in Atlanta suggested I look into gastric plication with Dr. Ortiz at Obesity Control Center in Mexico. I have looked at his website. Has anyone had the plication by Dr. Ortiz? I am also interested in hearing from people who have had the procedure by other surgeons. I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and weigh 312 pounds. I have Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, GERD, Sleep Apnea, elevated liver enzymes and very bad knees. I'm only 50. I am frightened about having the surgery, but I need some type of weight loss surgery. My medical insurance through work does not cover any type of surgical or nonsurgical treatment of obesity. I look forward to hearing from anyone who wishes to share any good or bad experiences. Thank you for your time.
