Hey just wanted to see if anyone else had had this kinda surgery.

yes, there are alot of us out there

is this the type of surgery you are getting?

Yep I had it in may and very happy I did.

I had it in june.....just wondering how everyone else is doing with it, down 60 lbs with no fills, I still get sick if I eat to fast but only if it gets stuck, I was the 2nd one that my surgeon had done, but the first one did lose much weight, so I ask anyone how they are doing except here.

Please eat slow take your time dont want a slip. I did, had surgery and yet did not lesson no surgery yet thank god started eating slow and soft foods. Its hard but we did not go through this for nothing going on three years, not proud of myself but i need to do this I am 48 and dont want to go back, even if it toke me to learn a hard lesson:(

doing great, down 62+ since my surgery, and like you, no fills

i am full after about 4 oz of food but dont eat over a cup at any time

i am incredibly happy

i got my life back

I had it done, too, 6 weeks ago. I am down 25 lbs. I went for my post op check last Thursday and my surgeon didn't think a fill was necessary. I agree! I go 4 to 5 hours between meals and eat with no problems. I get full quickly and have no cravings. Life is pretty great! I am so glad that I had the plication done. I can't see that there are any downsides to having it done. Best decision ever.

Same here, I really didn't want to do the plication, but my dr doesn't like to do lapband alone, she said it reduces band slippage, so I went for it and I'm glad I did, she won't do any fills until I stop losing weight, she said the band is for back up.

I am strongly considering plication, and am almost convinced that is the way I want to go. It sounds like it is very effective. I'm glad my doctor suggested it.

Gotta say my plication has been good but I'm not losing a ton like I thought I might. I've gotten 2 fills. I think the band, the plication, and me all need to work together. I do get full faster, but I need to really track my calories to lose weight.

I'm a year out from lap band with plication and am down about 88 lbs. I'm happy with the amount I've lost, the time it's taken to lose it and I'm about 13 lbs away from my initial goal. One of the best decisions I've ever made!

I had the band w plication on aug 23 as of last Wednesday I've lost 25lbs. I've had no problems w any food this is the best decision I could of made

I have some issues with bread and or if I don't eat slow it tends to get stuck, I didn't even think I would have any restrictions with the band being deflated but it's still there so I guess it can still cause my food to get stuck, I still get bouts of nausea alot! I just try to deal with it and get use to it!

I've had 2 small fills and I too get stuck with bread and I get full much faster than before. In that sense, the plication is good.

Whats Plication?

I've had a band with plication and one very small fill. Surgery was July 31st and my weight was 197 and as of today I hit 170! I wish I could lose faster but I'm still happy and glad I had it done !
