I'm considering having the lap band with plication. My surgery is scheduled for the 20th of this month. I'm a little nervous since the plication still under study. Has anyone had both procedures done?

I had mine done 2 years ago and could not be happier!

I had both done last December and am happy too. All my fills are done under fluro and my doctor would wait for the barium to move through to check the plication too during my early visits. No issues at all with the plication.

I also had both on Sept 19th....6 1/2 weeks out feel great and even was lucky enough to not need my first fill at last weeks doc appt!

I'm having my surgery done by Dr. Geiss too!! How long did you stay at the hospital?

I had both done on 3/25. I was nervous about the added plication too, but I'm really glad that I had it done. No problems whatsoever, and I'm down 56 pounds. Happy!

PS: I was in the hospital one night.

I'm so nervous and excited at the same time! I will be starting my pre op diet Wed. The 20th cannot get here fast enough!

Me! Surgery May 2012. Lost about 90lbs.
