Alex,I am a Bariatric coordinator and I know what sleeve Gastrectomy is, but what is sleeve with plication? Also I am looking for a surgeon that does band plication to hook my surgeon up with. Thanks

I am 3 years out from surgery. I have gained 20 lbs and my band is full. Help? Can they put more than 14 cc in the apl? Do I need to empty and start over? Thoughts?

I have a simple meal plan, meat the size of the palm of your hand, and something green about 1/4 cup. No counting or real measuring, 3 meals a day and don't allow boredom or frustration to make you eat. Hang in there. We didn't gain our weight over night and we are not going to loose it over night. Even though thats the way I would like it to be. Banded in Alabama Sept. 24,2008 Dr. Scott B. Robbins

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate the info and the support!

Thanks for your reply. New to the lapbandtalk.com. Having to figure things out. No regrets on the lap band. I have only had 2 fills, were you more successful after each fill?

What is the pouch diet? I feel off the wagon Christmas as well. Its the first time since I had my surgery in Sept. to do so. I feel so guilty. Guilty In Alabama

Hello everyone I am a Bariatric Coordinator for my local hospital and new Lap Band patient myself. I had surgery Sept 23 with Dr. S. Robbins, lost 19 getting ready for surgery and have lost another 23 since surgery. Feel Great, loving it. Gone from a size 20 to 14. Though my job is bariatric surgery, I need support just like my patients!
