I'm interested in hearing how others with lapband and plication are fairing? I had surgery on 4/25/2016, so it's only been 7 days. I feel great, no major problems or hiccups but I just feel like maybe I'm not eating enough? I don't know how to tell if I'm full or maybe it's still too early to tell?

Anyway, just wanted to see how others are doing or how their journey has gone.

I can recall two members who had band w/plication. CarolinaGirl lost a couple hundred pounds. She went a good year or more before she though she might need a fill. I think she's still doing well, but she doesn't post here much anymore.

I've read other posts by members with plication and don't recall any of them having problems. Don't be surprised if you go several months with very little hunger and of course, very little room for food to displace. Welcome and have fun on your journey.

Thank you for the info. Not quite two weeks after surgery and I'm down 31 lbs! No issues and no hunger, which is a very weird feeling that I'm getting used to.

Most plication patients lose weight faster than the rest of us. Keep going!

      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! 😞
