Lap Band Buddy Under 40

[Bos123 221]

Im glad you're doing we'll and that you feel young' date=' but I disagree, age is not only a number. I made this post bc I wanted to speak to people in my age group, not a parental figure. People closer to my age like to share and listen rather than just tell people what they should think, feel, and do. I don't think you're old in any way, but the way I relate to people is MUCH different than you.[/quote']

Seriously? I'm

Only 34, five years older than you. I don't think I'm old as your thread says lb buddy under 40. Anyway clearly we do relate to people differently. Good luck with your journey...

If anyone can take out the time to explain to me what plication is?

[blondegal_ 1,028]

From the web....

Laparoscopic Gastric Plication, involves sewing one or more large folds in your stomach. During the Laparoscopic Gastric Plication the stomach volume is reduced about 70% which makes the stomach able to hold less and may help you eat less. There is no cutting, stapling, or removal of the stomach or intestines during the Gastric Plicaiton. The Gastric Plication may potentially be reversed or converted to another procedure if needed.

I had it done at the same time as the Lapband surgery. It's still considered a new procedure so many insurances don't cover it or doctors don't offer it.

Thank you Tara-U, I've heard it mentioned a few times and wanted to see what I was missing out on. I'm so excited I finally got a date of 3/18 yay! But my doctor never mentioned plication, maybe it's not offered by his office.

I'm 32 and am having my surgery in three weeks. I have downloaded Mfp but really don't know how to use it yet.
