Plication And Lap-Band

Hey Sunshine! The lap band controls your intake of food but can be adjusted to suit your needs. The plication limits your food intake but can not be adjusted. My insurance covered the plication as long as I do it in conjunctioin with the band. My doctors says it is the most effective way. The plication helps you get the weight of faster and the band helps to sustain the weight loss. Most insurances don't cover the plication alone but will if you do the banding as well. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

exactly what mrs Lewis said,i had the iband done on dec 21st

Also early studies have shown that plication helps to prevent some band complications like erosion and slippage.

I agree with all of the above! I had lapband with plication on the 24th of Jan 2012..... and I am so glad I did!
