  1. I had plication on March 3rd around 11AM and as of 8PM Saturday I am still having very severe stomach cramps. Is this normal? Did anyone else have these this long? SD

    Stomach Cramps After Surgery

    Thanks for the all input. They are getting better. Only have them occasionally and sometimes when I drink something. Moved to creamy Soup tonight and that went pretty well. SD

    What kind of Protein drinks?

    I will 2nd the vote for Isopure. Like the Grape Frost the best, but have tried Peach Mango, Blue berry and Alpine Punch. SD

    Has anyone missed a period?

    Irregularor or no period can be a symptom of not enough Protein in your diet. Had this problem early in the Pre-Op diet since I could not handle the Protein shakes. Found Isopure and period came back as expected just a couple days late. SD

    10 days out and down 20 pounds!

    Why did you switch from Band to Plication? Scheduled for March 3rd and debating which to go with. SD

    Pre Op Diet

    Dr. Watkins, My wife is losing weight during the pre-op diet, but she cannot stand the Protein shakes. She has been substituting chicken broth with a little Grilled Chicken in it. She has 10 days to go on a 14 day regimate. Is it crucial that she drink the shakes, if so why? Or is losing the weight with a low carb diet the most important part. She is doing Water, tea, Crystal Lite Lemonade (once a day) 2-3 all green salads with some mushrooms, 2 Chicken Broth with Grilled Chicken and a Healthy Choice meal for dinner. Thanks, SD

    Plication Update

    My Dr suggested 400mcg of Chromium Piclonate in the morning to help relieve carb cravings then a Metamucil at 10AM and 3PM to help fill your stomach. Have you tried either of those. I am on day 3 and surviving. Not liking it, but surviving. SD

    Plication Update

    Melanie, No hunger pains thru the day? Are you avoiding bread and Pasta because of the calories w/o nutrients or because they bother you to eat at this point? Who did your surgery? Considering switching from Banding to Plication on the 3rd of March. I realize you did not have a Band, but any other comments or input would be welcome. SD
  9. I am in Dayton. What does Dr. Watkins charge for Plication? SD
