Lap band with plication?

[TEAM SASHA PINK 108]

I have been banded about 23 weeks. I have a 10cc band with 6.75cc filled. Is plication something that can be done now? Just curious if can be don't after the initial surgery. Thanks in advance.

This would require an additional surgery. From the looks of your weight loss, you are doing wonderful. Is there a reason you would want to add an addional WLS?

You really need to ask your surgeon about that, and it might depend on whether you'd want to keep your band at the time of a revision. I've heard of band with plication as a first-time, combo procedure, but haven't heard of adding plication to an already-banded patient. To add plication now, I think your surgeon would have to remove your band, do the plication, and put your band back in place.

you are doing so great...i am so proud of you....just keep in mind that just because one has plication, it still must be used correctly..i think some are thinking it is like the sleeve..the results vary by usage.. but it still takes work aka eating better/exercising...(when i am hungry, i eat more Protein and drink) hang in there :wub:
