Hello all. I am a first time poster (obviously), but new to any of the talk sites. I thought it was fitting that I am finally scheduled for my plication May 17th and this site comes along. SO I thought I better post. It has been a long journey. I was supposed to go in for the surgery twice before and talked myself out of it because of fear of the unknown. I like you, have spent 12 months trying to get any and all information on this procedure. I am so pleased to see a site like this where people can come talk to others who may have gone through it. I have read many posts on the vertical sleeve talk site and am so grateful for those that posted there. I hope to relay my experience as I move forward. I start my pre-op diet in 3 days and it is starting to get very nerve racking.

Good luck for your upcoming surgery!

welcome and good luck Muskwa! To plicate or not to plicate can be a stressful decision. I also researched WLS for years before taking the plunge. There is a lot of support in this community. Learn all that you can and mentally prepare yourself for this challenge. Remember.. This surgery is only a tool and it requires a lot on your part to make it a success.

Best of Luck!
