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

Plication is alternative to the sleeve. Instead of removing parts of your stomach, it is folded and sewed to make your stomach smaller.

Banded ith plication sept 17! Down 13 lbs from 6 days preop til now, 10 days later. Feel full most of the time. But I can eat 8 oz. /three x a day No more tho, so I must be doing it right!

Do you guys have nausea? What do you do for it?

Does anyone know if Tricare covers Lap band with plication?

Thank you!

I had band with plication on Nov 5, and so far, so good! I did extensive research into it before I made decision. I am only 5 days out, so I am still on post op diet and still recovering, but that is going well. Better than I thought. I am purchasing a new scale TODAY because I truly don't know how much I have lost, but I lost about 16 total pre op! I think this was a good decision, and my doctor has done quite a bit of the band w/ plication and he encouraged me to research before I made final decision! I'm determined to make this work! You sacrifice too much time, money, energy, etc...

I was banded yesterday with plycation. I have some tenderness at the port sight but other than that I am good! Looking forward to seeing the new ME!

Whats Plication?

They fold the top part of the stomachs just below the lapband and stitch it in place sorta mimics a gastric sleeve. Reduces the size of the stomach 30% and may increase weight loss by up to 30% I had it done there was no cost increase or no additional risks so why not try it?

Had my plication and Lapland in may. Very happy with weight loss but now I'm trying to get the saggy skin off me, damn.

Lost 45 pounds

I had my band w plication done on Friday 9 still in moderate pain, nothing unbearable tho. I can only intake 4oz of liquid at a time so it's hard to get my Protein requirements in. I'm down 11 pounds and very excited about it! Just hope the pain goes a way soon so I can get back to living!

I was banded with plication on November 1st. So far, I am down 33lbs since the start of my liquid diet. I am 11lbs lost post-op. I am doing the wrong thing by weighing in daily. I know I should weigh in weekly, but it's become a slight obsession. My advice, don't weigh in daily. It can get discouraging. Some days I drop, others I stay, and yes I have gained. However, it washes itself out. Instead of celebrating daily that I lose this or that, celebrate getting into a smaller size. One thing I do notice from day to day, is that my intake increases. I am getting my appetite back. This is where it's MY accountability to diet really comes to light. The band and plication aren't my solution, but a tool! It's ultimately up to me, right? I am determined and driven for results!

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!

Bread is very hard... try toast
