So here is my story...In Feb. I had to have my gallbladder removed. The same Dr. Who banded me (in 2010) also removed my gallbladder this year. While in there he also did a procedure called gastric plication or embrication to where he folded my stomach in and staples it. What this means is that the stomach is smaller and no longer stretches. At my last post op visit he removed some fluid, so i could eat without getting stuck. Needless to say I did not think I would lose any weight, but i have, and I can eat broccoli now, which of course I LOVE. I now have 3cc in my band and doing well.

Since the removal of some saline from my band I lost 4lbs in 6 days. When I returned to the Dr office for the medgem breathing test. I guess I will have to call them for my results since tues. Will be a week since I did the test.
