Hi, I had the Super Sleeve Plication done a few month ago by Dr. Jose Rodriguez. I am so happy with his entire surgical team and the Beliteweight team that held my hand through the whole process. I would highly recommend them.

Yes, my doctor was Dr. Jose Rodriguez. He has offices in Juarez and Tijuana, Mexico. His cost was $6200 for the Super Sleeve.

Looking for experienced Dr. in Mexico to perform the TGVP

Trying to decide between Dr.'s Jose Rodriguez, Dr. Corvala, and Dr. Ortiz? ?

Welcome any and all info!!!

Contact Beliteweight regarding Dr. Jose Rodriguez he has two locations. By now they probably have referrals who are doing very well with the Gastric Sleeve Plication and you can get to talk to the actual patients who have been there done that. You can try that with all the other Doctors you are considering too, so you are well informed.

Good luck, let us know how you get on. :confused:

I also had a Sleeve Plication done by Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Tijuana. I am currently 15 pounds from my goal weight (125 lbs) so I'm really happy. My stomach feels normal but I can only eat small portions. I love it. I went through Beliteweight and they did a fantastic job also.

I can eat roughly about 3-5 ozs before I feel full. To-date I have lost about 30 lbs. I was a small BMI and a Revision from a Band to the Super Sleeve. I have not regreted my choice.

I thought that I would post a thread for all members that had or is considering the TGVP procedure. I thought it would be a great idea for us to share our thoughts and experiences. I know of only one person so far. If you all know of any others please tell them to respond. Thanks VSG family!!

Hi Letme. Welcome to our little corner of the world. When is your surgery?

[letmeeatcake 0]

Hi

It's November 8th, thanks for the welcome. I was hoping someone would point me in the right direction re. reflux and hiatal hernias. It appears the surgeonwho is operating is prefers not to carry out the TGVP if the hernia is larger than 2cm and due to my reflux? I thought that weight loss would help with hernia's? Anyway he is going to do an endoscopy but if I insist on proceeding will have me sign some sort of liability waiver re. potential for hernia/reflux problems continuing or worsening. I'd love appreciate any insight upon this, then at least I can go ahead and decide better informed.

Thanks Again Regards

It is best to get a surgeon that will repair the hiatal hernia at the same time he does the plication. I heard it is a simple repair.
