Dr. Waldrep just did my plication two weeks ago. He was great and I feel remarkably well. He also spent as much time with me as I needed and certainly provided answers to my questions. I'm very confident in his ability and know that he has a good reputation.

Hello all, This is my first post here. Really happy to find some place to read about the experiences of others with plication. I'm exactly two weeks out today and down 19 lbs - without a pre-op diet period. The surgery itself was amazingly simple. I was an out patient and I was basically comfortable. Although I feel like there have been some challenging times so far, they have been brief and I know its still early. So all things considered, I think Im doing pretty well. Im currently trying to figure out what, when and how much I should try to eat - I'm on soft liquids - I can have smoothies and Protein shakes. I'm even getting a very small amount of cream of wheat in the mornings. Im finding that I am exhausted all the time. I've never felt like such a slug and have been so unproductive before. I just want to crawl in bed all the time. Anyway...wanted to say hello and share what some of the things that I'm experiencing are. so far so good.
