I agree with Davell23, you will hear good and bad things about all of the weight loss surgeries. Everybody is different and their bodies will respond differently to each surgery. I know it's hard not to worry but try not to, you will drive yourself crazy in the end. Going into my surgery I told my doctor if anything went wrong I was leaving, it was a sign I shouldn't have the surgery. Well my surgery went off without a hitch, in fact all I do is laugh when I think about how we acted up Wednesday morning. I was all worried for nothing. I would focus my mind on what changes need to be done after the surgery. Like eating slowly and smaller portions.

I'm feeling fine, the only thing I feel that's different from just the lapband surgery (remember I already had the lapband it had slipped) is that my stomach is making noises kinda like when you are hungry but I'm not. The whole experience was wonderful from the nurses to my doctor. First of all I was the first one scheduled at my request, so when I got there it was really quiet until we had everyone laughing. My nurse pulled a joke on me, I told her I was afraid of her not finding my vein because its always been an issue. But she got it on the first try, then she said that the IV wasn't working but it was. Then my doctor comes in with a big smile on his face and gave me a big hug. It was the best experience I've ever had it really didn't want to leave. I had my surgery at the Fort Worth Surgery Center in TX.

That's good for 11 days. Please keep me posted I'm sure I will have more questions as my surgery date gets closer.

How much weight have you lost so far?

I am scheduled to have my revision surgery (band with plication) on November 14th, a birthday present to myself. I have already had 1 slip repair surgery and I think this will be my last attempt. I've been reading a lot of success stories on different forums and decided to go with band and plication surgery. I absolutely love my band and hate that it slipped. I guess I just wanted to get some reassurance from people who have had the band with plication or plication surgery. I'm a little afraid of the plication only because its new to me, but I felt the exact same way before I had my lap band surgery. Any response is welcomed.
