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!

Welcome! I also had a lapband since 2001 and had it replaced along with the plication on Feb. 7 2011. Sounds like u did great with the band so I'm sure u'll do great with the plication! KUP

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
