  23. well as you know ive been worried about extra cost for plication. Tricare wouldn't cover any complications f I had plication since its not FDA approved ~~ guess the good lord made my decision. I only need to lose 5o-6o lbs I feel like I can do it with the band!!
  24. The doctors office called me today to tell me the IRB still hasn't approved plication. I am going on and having the band Monday.
