oliviam 3 Posted February 8, 2011 I am leaning towards plication surgery. I would like to have this done by Dr. Watkins. My second choice is Ortiz. Please share your thoughts on either Dr. Howdy! I think that Dr. Watkin is certainly good at what he does, but I believe that Dr. Ortiz has been doing the plication longer. I am scheduled on the 16th with Dr. Ortiz and I have spoken with him and others that have used him and all have great things to say! I am in AZ so Dr. Ortiz was closer for me and also cheaper! Can't beat that!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessi_R 0 Posted February 25, 2011 I had my plication with Doctor Watkins. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! I know that a LOT of people have had great success with surgery in Mexico, but it was something that I was just never comfortable with. I think in the end that choosing a doctor is more of an emotional choice; either way you go you will be happy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lmom1980 29 Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks for the input. I could never get comfortable with the Mexico option. Even with all the wonderful success stories. I am having plication on March 9th by Dr. Watkins in Ohio. I am not scared about anything but the post op gas pains, and the plane ride home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just make sure you TAKE and HAVE your medicine with you.. AND GasX strips.. I packed all my stuff and suffered for hours! The rest of the whole experience was easy.
