Hello, I'm 38 have sturggled my entire adult life and I have made the decision to go ahead and make this change. My fear with plication is that I have read it can easily reverse itself and by not removing the parts of that give us cravings I will continue to emotionally eat what I crave.

No bariatric surgery will cure emotional eating, that is something you will have to find other ways to overcome.

Why are you considering plication over the sleeve?

I have a sleeve. I like the idea that the body will create scar tissue, healing the stomach. In plication, the stitches are forever required to hold things together.

Can I ask what plication is? I don't believe I have heard about this one. Thank you

Sherrie,

The plication is a WLS where they do not remove any portion of your stomach, but fold it in upon itself to create a smaller stomach pouch. It is a restrictive surgery and considered fairly safe, however, having had it done years ago with minimal success, I would say it is only good for people with a small amount to lose. Although, like any surgery, it is only successful if we put the work into it!

Good luck!
