how is your band and plication doing?

when i eat sometimes, i can feel my stomach constrict slightly. it doesnt hurt.

i can also feel that same feeling when i am hungry.

i think it is helping me with (feeling full).

anyhow, let me hear how you are doing....

I'm great! I'm always amazed at how little my portion sizes are yet I still feel full. I'm not finding it difficult at all, but my journey has just begun.

Hi! I'm 1 month post op and doing well. Amazed how I'm full on such smaller portions especially compared to before surgery. I got my first fill last week. I can definitely feel food moving from the pouch to the lower stomach--glad the the stomach overall is smaller with the plication!. My birthday is in 3 weeks do I have another (lofty) goal of losing 10 more lbs by then. Hope everyone is doing well!

I'm glad you see everyone is doing so well!

Plication was definitely an awesome decision! I'm rarely hungry! And I've lost 8.5 pounds in 6 days! I know this will start to slow down soon, but I'm just going to enjoy it while it's still happening. I'm at 221.6, and I hope to be in the 100's by the time school starts back at the end of August!

There's a great video on you tube

Dr Robert Cywes discusses Lapland and plication sorry I am not in the position to give you the link anyway it's ver educational and that's the procedure I had on 6/26

I'm doing great! No fill yet I'm down 17 lbs...changed my diet to low carbs and the weight is starting to drop off. My dr. Says to eat no more than 30g. I'm barely eating a cup of food. I find that I'm full after a meal for a long time. I'm not complaining though! Had homemade chilli for dinner -- it was yummy! Have a great night and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
