You are not alone; I also had both procedures done, gastric band and gastric plication.
I am glad to find you; my surgery was on 20 April, one month after yours and it will be great to share our experiences.
The first week I had that strange sholder pain and a lot of gases. I couldn't eat that much, only liquids like tea, Water, fresh clean juice and activia.
The second week I started with mashed potatos, blended vegetables Soup and youghurt.
The third week I started eating fish, chicken, eggs; jelly; vegetables Soup but the veggies cut in small pieces.
Today I just finished 4 weeks and during this fourth week I introduced red meat, Pasta, rice and non cooked vegetables to my diet.
According to my doctor I can eat everything from now on but the good choices are on my hand and I should be always in contact with his team of nutricionists.
I don't feel hungry all the time as I used to feel before the surgery and now I eat a little and feel full quickly.
This friday (20 may) I complete 1 month, first week I lost 4,20 kg; second week 300 grams; third week more 900 grams and this last week I lost NOTHING, I felt sad when I saw the scale this morning.
I had my operation done in Jordan but I live in Dubai, next week I have appointment, not with the doctor who make it and I am hoping the doctor here will give me all the support that I need. Perhaps it will be time to make my first adjustment of the ring. Anyway, let's see what the doctor will say. So far, I AM HAPPY.
Did you have you band adjusted alrealdy? Now you finished almost 2 months; can I ask you how many kilos did you loose?
Thanks,

I'm doing a lot better now. Day 7 was the turn around day for me.... where I started feeling better. Don't do anything you're not comfortable with. After I read about plication, I felt for sure about having it done. Now I feel all alone though. There are many with the band... and a lot have gone down to Mexico to have the plication... but I have yet to find anybody who have BOTH lap band with gastric plication. So I feel lonely It would be nice to have another to talk to who knows what I'm going through.
