    Feedback On Plication With Band.

    It seems like, and I may be wrong, that gastric plication basically achieves the same purpose as the gastric sleeve. (And I'm talking about without the additional banding part). If that is the case, why aren't people who are opting to get the gastric sleeve just get gastric plication instead? Isn't it much safer since the stomach is being folded over rather than cut?

    Would You Do It Again

    What exactly is the "band with plication surgery?" I've heard it mentioned many times on this site, but stil do not know what it is.

    Question On Flying

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'll probably just go with my typical morning breakfast - coffee, (although I'll have to do decaf, because cafeine tends to dehydrate you), and yogurt or cottage cheese with or without fruit. I'll play it by ear, and expect smooth travels, (no pun intended ).

    Question On Flying

    I'm a newbie here and I have a question. I have to take a 2 hour flight in a few weeks - it departs early in the morning, (about 7:00 AM), then there's a 45 minute layover before another very short 1/2 hour flight. I have no idea about food and what to eat since I heard the pressure in the cabins can cause tightness, making everything more dificult. I got banded on 7/9, and I actually haven't had my first fill yet, (scheduled for 8/30), so I have very little restriction. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - everyone seems to have a different opinion on this.
