Congrats to everyone

I am having the lapband with plication in the morning...well, my lapband coordinator called yesterday telling me they were having wonderful results with the plication. One patient came in yesterday that had the surgery two weeks ago...with the weight from the preop diet and two weeks out...the patient had lost 40 lbs! I am even more excited about the plication now.

Now i'm even more annoyed that my doc won't do plication for me

I kept asking him about it but he said no. Also, my insurance won't cover it (Wellmark)

Seems i'm reading more and more about the miracles of plication and i'm bummed that its not in the cards for me

Still on for surgrey next Wednesday the 15th BUT stil waiting and waiting and waiting for ODS insurance approval. My paperwork was submitted last Friday. This has been the hardest part of my 9 month journey to be banded so far. I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't given me an ulcer! I am such not a fan of the "unknown".

Good luck to everyone having surgrey today and tomorrow!!

I'm still new so I have a question. How do I load a picture to my profile?

If you look up at the top right by your name there is a drop down box. Click on "my profile". Where the picture is on the upper left corner, hover mouse over it and it will say "upload picture" or "change". Click on that and it will prompt you to upload your pic. Hope this makes sence

kpizzle, I am August 20 also and on day 4 of my liquid pre-op diet.

Ok...curious...what is "plication"?

plication=folding, so in this context the surgeon literally "folds" your stomach (using stitches) reducing it's volume

Yo I am getting banded on the 16th!
