Not always. They do a surgery called the banded plication. It's where they put a lap band and do the plication at the same time. That's what I'm doing. Yes it's done in the US. It's new.

Yes I had popped a stitch too. My circumstances were a little different though. I had plication done with OCC march 2012 and got pregnant May 2012, popped the stitch at 7 months pregnant. Had my baby c-section feb 2013 and stomach collapsed and cause an obstruction June 2013. Had to have emergency surgery to reverse plication and spent a week in the hospital.

Not fun at all but I don't have any regrets or blame Dr. Ortiz.

Had a upper GI done Nov 2014 and everything is normal. Signs of esophagus scaring, the X-ray tech asked if I had lots heartburn but I do not at all. Could of been due to the tune they put down my nose to my stomach to drain the blood during the ordeal.

Today is a new day, new year actually and I am starting my journey once again. Going back to Dr. Ortiz and getting revision in 15 days. Started my pre-op diet today.

I am planning on having more kids in a few years so I am curious about what caused these complications in regards to the pregnancy. You can message me if you like. Thank you!

Did you have any complications at all with your banded plication? Tell me your experience!

I am having a laproscopic banded plication on 9/29 and was wondering what restrictions on driving you had post-op? When were you allowed to drive again?
