Lap band w/plication 7-18-13 2 week post op down 14 pounds 4 week post op visit down a total of 36 pounds down, I did get a fill of 4.4 total 5.4 in band.
I got the fill because after 1-2 hours after a meal I was hungry again. Had the fill drank water to make sure I was comfy and I was done probably will not need another fill, no problems whatsoever feeling GREAT and my clothes are baggy!!!!
My Nashville surgeon is participating in a study with Duke University, offering the plication along with Lap Band 1-band cannot slip 2- it makes a kind of like gastric sleeve.
It was voluntary for the 5 yr study kind of like getting a 2 for 1. Plus it speeds the weight loss
