And I meant to mention that I had a hiatal hernia repair at the time of surgery, lol. Forgot that part!!

I had the lapband with plication done in may and I've lost ~30 lbs. I am very happy with the results and so is my dr. I just had my first fill last week and have enjoyed every minute of the experience. I eat when I'm hungry, not bored. I don't feel like food controls me anymore. Luckily, I can eat most things.. In moderation. I wouldn't change anything about the surgery. I would advise the plication to anyone with a dr that knows how to do it!

My dogs, Harley and Callie are both full blooded german shepherds and are always very aware when mommy is upset or in pain. They are the sweetest things!!

When is your surgery date? How are you doing? I had the lapband with plication may 24, 2013, and am down 20 lbs. I would do it again. First fill on July 24. Good luck!

I had the lapband with plication may 24. No fills yet and have lost ~20 lbs. first fill on July 24. Excited. I am enjoying re-learning to eat again without stuffing my face!

Congrats! I am less than 1 month post op and am hovering around the 20 lb loss mark but it is still falling. I had the plication as well and haven't even had a fill yet.

I had the lapband with plication on may 24, 2013. So far, so good. Getting my first fill on July 24. We shall see!!

I had mine done with plication on may 24. All I can say is do what the dr tells you! Are you getting a hernia repair or plication? Good luck!

Weekends are hard for me too but I just keep busy!! I've found that losing a little weight has made me feel better about myself and I actually WANT to go places and do things. When I get the munchies I drink water or juice and it normally subsides.

I work as an Internet manager at a car dealership, so I don't do any lifting and not a whole lot of walking. I had the surgery Friday and went to work on Tuesday. It wasn't bad but I wish I would have waited a week and went back the following Monday. I'm doing great now, but I realize after the fact waiting would have helped greatly. It really depends on the person and the doctor. good luck!

Good luck! I had the lapband with plication 5/24 and have lost about 1lb/day since!

Hi! I had the band with plication done 5/24. I also had a hernia repair. I think the hernia repair has a longer Recovery. I haven't had any problems out of my lapband but when I get something stuck in my band I kinda stop talking, make a weird face (as I've been told) and then take a sip of something. It hasn't come up yet at all but it's more uncomfortable but luckily it doesn't last long. I don't know if my doc put a fill in during surgery since I had the plication. My 2 week follow up is Monday so I guess I'll find out about fills then! Good luck!

Yes my dr recommended that I try it because he said I would be a great candidate! I haven't had a fill yet but I have a lot of restriction just because of the plication!! The fill will only make things easier I suspect!!

But I also had the plication done so idk if that has anything to do with it.

I'm the exact same way! I eat then I'm like o m g im sooooo full. But I haven't eaten a lot. I know the head hunger will get better with time but I just don't want to risk stretching anything too early on and never getting the full effects of the band!

I had my surgery may 24th too! I've lost 14 lbs so it seems like we're on the same page! I didn't have bad shoulder pains either but I did take my medicine consistently for 3 full days!!! Haha good luck! My first post op appt is tomorrow @3. I had the plication so I don't think I am getting a fill yet.

Congrats!

That is awesome! I didn't get one. Do you get a discount for ordering less?

Shreveport, LA!

That's funny! Glad you're feeling better... I have been at work 2 1/2 days now and I will admit, I do get tired a little but not too bad. I didn't have the left shoulder pain like everyone else seems to have but it was hard to take a deep breath for a few days. The hiccups have gotten fewer and farther between but when I do get them they still hurt haha! And we are right along the same weight loss, as of yesterday after work I was right at 12.5 lbs lost. Good luck! keep in touch!

I had the plication with my lapband on 5/24 (last fri) and I am noticing I am rarely hungry, but considering I'm still on liquid diet I guess that doesn't mean much! I plan to keep everyone updated since the plication is so new.

I had surgery on 5/24 (last fri) and I went back yesterday 5/28. I only worked a half day yesterday but today I worked a full day and will be from now on. Granted, I work at a primarily desk job, but today I did do a significant amount of walking and I'm aching a little but not too bad. Hope this helps!

Oh and I haven't regurgitated at all! Idk if I'm just weird or what but I haven't had any problems with that....
