Hey :)

Well as the title says really, Im 36 i live in the UK and for the last 10 months ive been researching the Gastric Band, Yet all of that was thrown into the air when i spoke to somone about Plication.

I have since decided that this will be the surgery i have and it will be done in Czech through a company who have 100% reputation..

I have around 85lbs to lose and my BMI is 43

Im so looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life but unfortunatly i have to pay for the surgery myself so it probably wont be until the begining of 2012 so ill be using this site for more information and to follow your journeys and find out more about the ongoing experiances with this new procedure ..

Welcome to a fellow person from the UK. Are you talking about www.gastricwrap.com? They seemed reputable but had a minimum BMI requirement of 35 so I ceased investigating at that point (they operate at a lower BMI in Mexico).

Good luck! biggrin.gif

I Pixie,

I am also from the UK and will be having my Gastric Wrap(as they call it over here) by Cosmetic Bliss. My date for surgery is 21st August. My sister had the Band with them last year and she is doing really well.

Shez.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
