I too would like to know the answer to this one. I wish he would have replied.

I have been reading a lot about stomach acid in regard to VSP (plication). I'm wondering if this is perhaps because the whole stomach is still making acid, in a very small space? I'm wondering if this could be a drawback to plication? I'm still trying to decide between VSG and VSP. Thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks so much to all of you. I am trying to decide between the VSG and the VSP. Please continue to post. So far, it sounds like, with the Plication, you can eat anything you want, but with the VSG, you cannot? Is that correct? WIth the VSG, can you eat vegetables? And it sounds like that with the Plication, you still get hungry, so that is a drawback. Please keep posting, you are my sources of information regarding the VSP, and there is so little info available. Also - a question, are the other doctors (besides Watkins) correcting the h. hernias when they to the Plication?

This is the first time that I have read that you cannot drink. Is this true? I don't drink a lot, but I do enjoy it occasionally. How much and what can you drink? For example, can you have two martinis or two glasses of wine?

Hi Judy. I am thinking about either having the VSG or the Plication (VSP). Where are you having your surgery? I hope it goes well. Keep us posted.
