I'm 11 days out. I stayed in for 3 nights as I was in quite a lot of pain, but then the day I got out I flew to Vegas and was mostly off pain meds from then on!

That’s great! Congratulations on getting it done! I am still doing my research and getting my paperwork together. I am excited and nervous but mostly I think I am just ready to get on with a heather thinner me!

I had plication because the weight loss results are similar to the sleeve. It leaves your stomach in tact, so if you get something like throat cancer your stomach tissue can be used. Also you don't have the concern of staple line seapage (plus I imagine that getting sleeved must hurt more).

Thanks for the reply!!

Valid point about the cancer I hadn’t even thought of that. How far post op are you?

Hello newbie here, I was just wondering what made you guys choose the Gastric Sleeve Plication (GPS) over the Gastric Vertical Sleeve? I can’t decide which one would be best for me and I am so scared of choosing the wrong one. Please help!

a friend and myself are both going to Mexico on February 24th to get surgery. I am getting the sleeve plication and she is getting the regular sleeve. We both have about the same amount to lose so I will be interested to see how we both do. I will be sure to post

Please let us know!! I dont know which one I should get the sleeve or the plication. Why did you get the plication what things did you learn to help you make the choice? Thanks!!
