Lap Band with Plication

I am scheduled to get banded on August 1st. My doc informed of a new procedure (Lap Band with Plication). Have anyone had this procedure done? If so how is the recovery?

    I had it done April 26th. The recovery was just like those who had just the band. Gas pains, sorness in the port area, etc. I felt just fine after a few days. Just follow the post op instructions and diet and you should be fine. I'm glad I did it. I've lost 57 pounds total since my first consultation.

    Would you be kind enough to talk about where you had it done and with which surgeon? Or feel free to PM me? I am interested in this procedure.

    Thanks
