I had surgery in the us with doctor helmuth billy in ventura, california. I also had a lap band with plication therefore, my insurance covered the procedure. You can look at my blog for more info or message me.

Yikes $52K!! How are you coping Lena? Despite everything you've gone through you still seem positive!!

I don't know ,but if something happen like in my case, you are safe here, not like me that I end up in the emergency room with severe complications and 52,000 of hospital bills.

I live in Utah. I am one hour away from Cottam. I talked to him on the phone a few times. I ended up flying to Ohio for plication because of the disorganized and slow responses from Cottam's office staff. He is one of the best, but I have no regrets going to Watkins in Ohio. Great staff who check on me at least once a month. The lady who had her plication just a couple hours before I did had a really bad necrosis complication. She almost died! Watkins now does the Plication loser, but from what I last heard he is really pushing the banded plication.

I'm so glad Watkins office is keeping in good contact with you. They just have sounded great all around. I think you made the right choice.
