I had both done (band with plication) on 2/21/12. I am very happy with my choice. I have only lost 23 lbs but this is my fault. I NEVER get hungry but can't seem to break the habit of just eating at mealtime whether or not I am hungry. Good luck with whatever you choose.

hey guys! I had the band with plication (or as my doc calls it the "iband") on Feb 13th, so far I've lost 55 pounds!! I love it!! My doc said most bands will leave you sore a day or two afterwards, but with the iband I was sore for 6 days! very painful but the liquid hydrocodone helps alot! I dont know how much for I can say how amazing the iband is, so worth it! my doc says if i keep up with my progress I should be at 100 pounds lost by august!

I just had lapband with plication yesterday- may 18. I feel pain at the port but it's not unbearable . It feels like I did a million sit ups. The worst for me so far has been severe cotton mouth! I've been eating ice all day. I would also say to walk walk walk and drink mint tea for gas.

Hey, yea most was following docs orders! I am big about the Water rule and that seems to make a difference; no Water 10-15 mins before meal and no water 30 mins after. I've been eating frozen tilipia that you bake for like twenty mins and its soo good, and i dont like fish so that is saying something! that and the bumble bee chicken salad packs, chicken salad and 5 crackers is like the perfect for a small meal! also very important to get in your Protein, the one i love is Premier Protein.. I found it at sams its already liquid so its great for on the go and taste pretty good!!

not really exercising like i should, but soon ill be going more.. need to get past this month!! My goal is to be at 199.. at least! so i still have about two hundred to lose.. but still its a good start!

Yep it is and so far the people that have it are losing very well. But you have to follow Dr. Orders. I had my surgery May 18, and started Protein yesterday it's tough getting all of it in. I think because the stomach is still swollen. When do you go for surgery ?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
