Everyone is different! And remember, you just took a major step to feel and look better. AND to be healthier. That says a lot about you and your commitment.

Congrats, you are in the right direction and it will come off. I had my LB surgery on 1/14/15 and since that time I am down 145lbs and 18 inches off my waist. They (5) medications I was taking for HBP & Cholesterol and a Water pill are all gone. All I take daily is a Vitamin. It will work for you as well. Enjoy the Journey!

same here i need to work on me and not worry about anyone else

I am just starting to think about Gastric Plication. Nice to see there are favorable results. Best of luck to all of you. Would love to see updates, my surgery date has not been scheduled as of yet.

I am 10 months post op and have lost 121 pounds. I started at 249, 233 the day of surgery. I now weigh 128.

Stina, you are doing great! You are losing faster than me and I work out with a personal trainer 3 days a week. I do have Hair loss and it's driving me crazy. I had a lot of hair loss when I was pregnant and then 18 months of breast feeding. It finally got better and then came the surgery and it's bad again. My hair is sooo much thinner than it was, but luckily I had a pretty good amount to start with.
I'm 8 months post op and I'm down about 60+ lbs with 50+ lbs to go

Hi ladies I started at 286 I am now 204! I got my sergery in Dec. 11hope to hear from ya soon

I'm about 20 pounds away from goal. I have been more active since losing weight, more hiking and walking. I have not started a steady workout regime, though. I'm concentrating on my diet at the moment. I really want this to be successful and didn't want to overwhelm myself with too many changes. I believe that is what has caused me to yo yo diet in the past, and has caused me to get burned out and gain weight. Focusing on being healthy and eating right seems to be working for me.

I had plication surgery on April 3rd. I am currently down almost 40 pounds. I am curious to hear about everyone else's experience so far with this surgery, as I know that the surgery is fairly new. I am hoping that this thread will be helpful for anyone contemplating this surgery. I am 3 months out and am currently eating about 800-900 calories a day. I average about 80-100 grams of Protein a day. I concentrate on eating 5 small meals throughout the day, and drink Water though it can be difficult. I do not regret this surgery at all, I really am using it as the tool it is. I am currently half way to my goal. Others who have had gastric plication surgery please chime in!!

I had plication surgery 9-14 and have not looked back! I absolutely would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it. I've lost 65 pounds and have 5 more to make goal. I'm also 63 years old and suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis. I recently had a total right hip replacement and sailed thru the surgery as a result of the weight loss. I'm dancing again and loving my life! Don't wait! You will not regret this!
