If your posting already, you must have come through the surgery quite well. Congrats.

Do you know what size bougie your doc used on you for your revision?

Hello Sarah,

I am scheduled for plication on July 29th and questioning if I should have it or the sleeve. Would love to hear your story and why it didn't work. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

Hi Crystal,

My plication didnt work because there was not enough restriction since the first 2 monthes I was able to eat whatever I want after the liquid stage

At the beginning I lost weight but then I regained all the pounds

I think that the surgeon didnt adjust the proper size of my new stomach since I was his second plication surgery

I've seen other patients who were happy with the result of their plication

I think you should ask more people but if I go back in time I'd choose sleeve over plication

Wish you best of luck

Hi Sarah, congrats. You're so brave having a revision as it must've been a more complex surgery. Does it hurt more than the plication did? Your the first GPS revision I've heard of.

You'll have to keep us posted on how it's different once you're further out as you have a unique perspective.

I wish all the best for a super speedy recovery, I'm sorry you're going through it all again, but you're sounding very positive!

Hi Crystal, my story's pretty much the same as Sarah's, except I was something like plication number 150 for Dr Lopez Corvala. I've not had a revision as my op was 7 months ago and I'm still paying it off.

Hello dear

My surgeon said it was a little bit different because there were some adhesions because of the old surgery but the space inside was enough for the tube to pass,otherwise he would have revise it to gastric bypass.....concerning the recovery I stayed for 2 days in the hospital but frankly this time I felt much better I didn't feel any pain after surgery except for the tube coming out of my nose ,it was painful

But it didnt hurt more than the plication

Thanks TijuanaPlication....For sure I'l keep on posting on my progress

Congrats on a successful revision, I hope things go a lot better for you this time, as I am sure it will. Glad you had a fairly easy recovery and are feeling pretty good!

:cheer2:

Hi everyone,hope everything is okey

Actually, I thought about sharing my progress almost 2 months post my revision.I really feel great :bananapartyhat:

:peace:

I walk for about 45 min or 1 hr on treadmill everyday.

So far I've lost about 35 pounds .

My starting weight was 222 Ibs....now I'm 187 Ibs

The sleeve is the best thing happened to me.It's a life changing experience.:success1:

I'll keep on posting my progress as soon as possible.

Wait...I haven't had this surgery yet! Your awake when they pull the tube out of your nose? I thought it went down the throat. ugh

Hi Shoppingbeemom

The tube went down my nose and through my throat.

When they pulled it I was awake ,what really bothered me was the feeling of the tube inside my throat .They kept it inside for 24 hours for all the unwanted Fluid to get out of my stomach.

There was another tube coming out of the left side of my stomach for blood to get out.

Best of luck on your surgery

Thanks Sarah, Do you know if it is common practice to pull it out of your nose after your awake. This is the first time I've heard of it.
