My husband and I are scheduled for March 9 with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I have several friends that have gone through him and said it was like going to a spa retreat! He has also done interviews on the today show, Oprah, and local stations. Wishing you good luck!

I would never go to Dr A with my personal research.  Make sure you go in depth in your research.  I'm going with Dr. Kelly in March.

Hello Everyone,  I am researching Gastric Plication if anyone can share or suggest where to look into this procedure and where?  thanks

it is so new,there is not going to be many places to research it. 

I,personally,would not have it for the following reasons:

the extra stomach is folded over and stapled to itself,instead of being completely removed. This seems,to. Me, like a prime opportunity for the tissue to die and cause wicked problems down the road.

the plicated,( folded over) stomach still produces the. Hormone ghrelin,the hunger hormone. That mean you are going to still be as hungry as you are right now,but with a very small stomach that can't hold much. Sounds like agony tome. 

Good luck in your decision making.

I ordered most of the vitamins on Amazon! They weren't too bad.  My doctor is Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras.  I'm trying to figure out what to pack for clothes, and what to put on my iPad to watch!
