Hi guys

Hello guys! I am genkilocs and I am new to the forum here. On May 18th, I had my lapband removed and a gastric plication done. This is only week number two but I am excited to see how this surgery will be of a benefit for me. I ,lost 120 pounds with my lapband but unfortunately my band eroded my stomach and it had to be removed. Thank GOD for my doctor. I was able to be converted to the plication with out any problems. I have my follow up appointment this week coming up, i hope everything has turned out ok. I will keep you all updated on my progress. I hope you are doing well!

    I had seriously considered the lap band before reading about the plication. I am SO glad I didn't do it! Although the lap band has certainly helped a lot of people lose weight without complications, it just seems like I'm hearing so many stories about erosion and other problems with the band. So sorry that happened to you, also, gen. I hope you have continued success with the plication!
