Hi. Sleeve gastrectomy to Plication to kickstart weightloss

[Aussiegal 0]

Hi

I was sleeved two years ago in June. I am 52 from Sydney Australia. My sleeve journey has been difficult. I initially lost 44lb (20kg) very easily. Then I struggled to lose another 20lbs or so. I am back at 205LB (93kg) and have been talking with my surgeon about further surgery to get back into weightloss.

I have Psoriatic Arthritis and have had a fairly bad time with pain and medications over the last year which did not help matters. I have been struggling with depression due to these struggles. Anyway I looked into getting the Mini Gastric Bypass but due to the medications I take there would be too greater risk for Ulcers so need to go a different route. Dr T then suggested I have the Gastric Curve Plication. He said that resleeving which some people are doing by the way carries too many risks for leaks as you are stapling over a previously stapled area. So he said that plication would carry much less risk and would achieve the same thing of going back to a resrticted sleeve.

So I am calling in to say Hi and just wondering if there is anyone around who has also gone from a Sleeve to a Revision of the sleeve using Plication??

Cheers

I have the plication but have never heard of this revision. To my understanding your stomach is reduced to the same size... Was yours too big?
