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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
