Hello everyone!
I am going in for my plication surgery on Feb 27th at Jerusalem Hospital in Mexico. My wife had the sleeve done there last March and has lost over 100 lbs! Now it is my turn. We are/were both self pay. I have tried numerous diets but I am a stress, late night and emotional eater. I was in sales for many years and did a career change several years ago and now I am a Respiratory Therapist. So still stressful, emotional and I am up nights but very, very rewarding. I have 3 wonderful and sassy/ smart aleck kids 20, 17 and 15... so things are never dull around the house. I want to use the plication as a tool and a jump start to get my weight back to a manageable number. I treat people and do codes on individuals my size and know things only get worse if the weight does not come off. Any comments or advice gladly listened to!
