  1. I found the group and I noticed that!! . But on a happy note my surgery has been moved up to the 18th of this month!!! Can't wait to start my new journey. Wish you the best and let's keep in touch!
  2. Do you know the name of the group? I will love join it!
  3. Has anyone had the Lap Band while dealing with PCOS?
  4. Plication is defined as the act or process of folding. Therefore, as its name implies, in a gastric plication procedure the surgeon sews folds into the walls of the stomach to decrease its volume by approximately 70 percent. As a result, the stomach is unable to contain as much food as it did prior to the procedure so the patient will no longer be able to eat as much. No cutting or stapling involved, so it's reversible.
  5. Congrats on your new journey!!
  6. How long before you guys could return to work?
  7. I'm so nervous and excited at the same time! I will be starting my pre op diet Wed. The 20th cannot get here fast enough!

  9. I'm considering having the lap band with plication. My surgery is scheduled for the 20th of this month. I'm a little nervous since the plication still under study. Has anyone had both procedures done?
