    edwin got a reaction from Sunflower47 in Been Plicated   
    So, I am 33 years old and I have been plicated for about a month. I have noticed some differences in my clothing so far.
    The story: Well to be honest, I was an athlete growing up playing American football at the Semi pro level up till I was 23. I have been heavy but mostly muscle and then at the age of 24, I had a car accident which messed up my back something fierce. Almost overnight, I went from running everyday to not being able to be on my feet for 10 minutes without severe pain. I ballooned. After a job change and 2 years, I made my first attempt to get surgery. Well, my doctor a Japanese man from St. Vincent's in New Haven, CT told me that I wasnt mature enough for a lap band surgery, which seemed extremely crazy. I tried to argue with the man but to no avail.
    My company(which was a health insurance firm) was bought out and their policy towards weight loss surgeries changed. read, no more surgeries will be paid for...
    Fast forward to 2010, I was perusing one of these forums and I saw an ad for the sleeve plication. And I went for it. On March 14th, 2011 I got it done. Ok, the guy at the Doctor in Mexico kept trying to convince me to get the regular sleeve not the plication, treating me like some sort of idiot. I almost cracked him in the grill. I told him that I spent months, nay, years thinking about what i wanted and went with the plication anyway.
    I have never been a huge fan or weighing myself but I figure that i will hit the gym hard in about a week and really get some results
