Hello my name is Judith and I am not for sure if I fit into the forum. I had the lap band with plication done October 10, 2011. I have just recently had fluid in my band so most of my weight loss had been due to the plication. I have lost about 20 pounds, I chose this so I would be able to tone while I lost weight in order to try to prevent so much excess skin. My doctor was Dr Keith in Norman OKlahoma
