It's a bit of a slower forum here, and although some of the other forums are busier I still hope people on here keep in touch because we've all had or are going to have the same procedure. So i m just dropping a line to see how everyone's doing. Any complications? Some success stories?

Hello Bos123,

I have found that a lot of the plication "old timers" stop posting on a regular basis. I am guilty myself but I am trying to be good and check in regularly. I had my surgery Oct 4th 2011 and did really well in the beginning. I have lost a total of 70 lbs, but am now stuck at 200 lbs. Most of which is my fault. I need to start watching what I eat more. I think my body is now maintaining with the calories I eat. Now I officially need to start dieting :-( and going back to the gym on a regular basis.

How are you doing and when did you have your surgery?

I have it on dec 3. It's tough to find people who will be open about having plication! Many have had lb with plication, but idk if its the same experience. I am nervous lol. So many just went with the sleeve, but I am scared of that as a family member almost died from

Complications lol. Why did you choose

Plication over sleeve? Where you nervous because it was a newer procedure? Where did you have it done? Any regrets or hind sites? Thanks for replying, I haven't checked in in awhile either cause no one is ever here. Which makes me wonder... Is there not any newbies? And why not lol?

Hi boss123, I am a newcomer. I had sleeve 11/3/12. So far going great. Have not seen my surgeon since hospital stay. He's on vacation. Looking to see if I can work out a little. All I am doing is walking so far. And I'm bored with shakes. This is a new journey for me. Lost 15 lbs so far. Can't wait for Thanksgiving. Whoo hoo....

You had the sleeve or plication done? It's great to hear you are doing so well

Hello Bos123,

I don't think you should read into anything as far an not a lot of newbie's. It's just a newer surgery and insurance doesn't cover it so less people get it. I don't know anyone who has had any complications from this surgery. I am really happy with the surgery and everything that's come with it. I can honestly say that I wasn't nervous until the day of surgery. I was happy for my new life to begin! I had my surgery done in the Seattle area. Where are you having yours done?

Hi bekrudz

I got my plication on oct 19, I was happy to read your post I love hearing when people are feeling great with no complications. If I may ask when was your surgury?

I agree with the above! So nice to hear from someone who has had it done! I am going to TJ Mexico with dr Ariel Ortiz. When I'd you have yours done? How have you been doing so far?
