My surgery was postponed. I am so sad it is the second time. I hope to have it booked for two weeks from now. Are you still glad you had plication?

A clients daughter had gall blader surgery and the laparoscopic incision they cut ended up hitting a nerve. Her symptoms are similar to yours. There is a name fe the condition...unsure but I could find out.

Hi there I was banded in 2005 and need a port revision as well. I have been scheduled for this Wed and found out today that it might be postponed. Really bummed. I am going to have plication done at the same time. I have done alot of research and I feel it is a great addition to the band.

How long after surgery did you get your first fill? How many have you had? Are you full? How is your weightoss going?

I'm September 12th.

Thanks for the info! Were you nervous about getting plication? I am nervous and excited I think it is a great tool in combination with the band.

Trying to figure out which protein powder is the best tasting.

I am trying to figure out pros and cons for plication with band. I postponed surgery to get plication with lapband. I need to let my surgeon know Monday if this is what I want. Any feedback? Thank you!

Good morning, Were you nervous about getting plication?

Hello...I am also in the Denver area. My doctor has assisted your dr. on the plication but I will be his first case. I feel like I will be in good hands! Are you glad that you had plication? I have been banded for 7 years but have had a leak in my tubing and finally decided to get it fixed. I will have my procedure on 9/12.

I am having port revision on Tuesday and the Dr can do plication at the same time. Are you happy with your decision? It sounds like a great idea!

Thanks for the replies...One more thing how do I get the ticker on my profile? I can't figure it out.

August 23rd Port Revision

I had my band done 7 years ago. The surgeon had a new assistant doing the adjustments and after my visit I had no restriction. I told the surgeon I thought my port was having a problem and his response was you should have gone for the bypass! He told me it would be a $5000 fix. I decided to just walk away! I have found a new surgeon (7 years later) and he did a furo X-ray yesterday and yes I have a leak not in the port but in the band. He is pretty certain it was from the needle. It can be repaired and I will be on my way again. My date is Aug 23rd... Yeah!

O

I am having a port revision on August 23rd. Can't wait!
