I had lap band with the plication and my ins. paid for it. The plication was new so the Dr. threw it in with the lapband. I had it done in May 2011 and I have lost 77lbs. I eat what I want to just a lot less of it. I am really glad I had it. I don't have fills in the lap band. I never have to. Go for it!
I was nervous too. But I did really well. The Dr. was great and he even had prayer with me before the surgery. I am still losing a little along. I really think I have lost enough. But I don't mind if I lose a little more.
I had lap band with plication in May of 2011 and I weighed 239lbs. and I now weigh 162lbs. and I am still losing slow. I eat what I want to just a lot less of it. I can't eat much at a meal. I eat crackers and some chips between meals. I drink power aid zero a lot and drink Slim Fast. I feel great and I don't have to take a lot of my meds any more. Has anyone had this surgery that has a urostomy? I don't have a bladder and they did this surgery on me. Oh and I am 5 feet 9 inches tall. Thanks Sha
I had Lap Band with Plication in May of 2011. I weighed 239lbs. and was 5 ft. 9 in. tall. I now weigh 162lbs. and I feel great. I am very happy I had it done. I would like to hear from other people who have had this surgery. I also am a urostomy person. I don't have a bladder and they still did this surgery on me. I feel so much better to have lost all that weight and I have more energy. I eat pretty much what I want to just less of it. I also drink a lot of Slim Fast. Let me hear from you!
