1 week banded with plication

[blondegal_ 1,028]

I didn't have gb removal but had other 3 as out patient. They gave me an anti nausea patch to wear as well as pills. Just make sure you get all care instructions before the procedure so you can ask questions. Right before and then after surgery isn't good as usually you can't really focus on the info.

Mrsinto- I haven't had a gall bladder for about 13 years. Because of this I've had an issue with bile in my stomach. I'm not a person that really gets nausea. I think everyone has their own rate at which they heal. I was in the hospital for 2 nights but if I didn't stay I feel like I would Have been readmitted due to dehydration. Basically I'm saying listen to your

Body, everyone is different.

Congrats! That must help to get through it all, knowing the weight is coming off steadily.

MRSINTO, thanks for your comments and links. I appreciate it!

Draven - I would LOVE to hear how you've been doing over the past months since your surgery. Any complications (my biggest fear considering plication+band). How was the weight loss over the first few months? How many (if any) fills so far? I guess I have a lot of questions <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I love my band with plication. Banded Nov 6 2012. Down 65 lbs. Good luck.
