YAY! I'm so excited for you! Keep us updated on your progress

Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow that is awesome! It would be nice if I could get it done this month!

We should have a group...Plication Pioneers? I know that plication is really starting to catch on and it would be nice if those considering it would be able to find out information in an easy way. I know that I was desperately looking on here for any info on it.

Welcome! What does your pre-op diet consist of?

Thanks for sharing and best of luck to you!

Hope mine is that fast!

LadyScorpio how did it go?

@fnicole....I had no idea that plication exsisted until I went to the seminar my surgeon put on. Apparently its\'s still very new and only certain surgeons do it.

Awesome! I keep hearing about people that have to do liquids for 2 weeks! I was getting worried. Whew! How long did it take you to get a surgery date after your insurance approved you?

Good luck today!

Touria, did you have a pre-op diet and if so what did it consist of and for how long?

Awesome!

Shy2012 that is exciting keep us all updated!

20 lbs is awesome! Thanks ladies I added you both as friends and will keep in touch You both are inspirational.

I wasn't sure where to post this because I am not banded yet but here it goes... Now that people are finding out that I am going to get the band I am already being treated differently and not in a good way. I have a friend, that is at the weight I would like to be, that complains to me that I will be all skinny and she will feel fat. Seriously? I thought she would be happy for me to start this process but she doesn't even want me to talk about it. Has anyone else experienced this before or even after they got the band? I'm so confused.

I'm not banded yet but I wanted to say congrats!

Thank you so much for the response! Yes, i have been looking desperately for every comment, forum, and research article that discusses plication with the band and there just isn't much out there. I will definitely keep in touch!

A BIG thanks to all of you for all your stories, advice, and understanding! It is great to have a support network to lean on that understands. You are all wonderful

That is a tough situation, he made be afraid of losing you when you lose? I don't know if that is the case but men can be silly sometimes. Don't let him get you down and I won't let my "friends" get me down.

I'm starting to think I should have kept my mouth shut about it.

That sounds like an awful friend. Thanks for the sympathy and encouragement

I am still in the pre-op process

I am considering lapband with plication by Dr. Snider as well and have a consultation with him on the 16th. Would you say it has been worth it? Being so new I worry about getting it.

You are going to do great! Remember all the posts on here that say it was the best decision they have ever made
