Gastric Plication Article if Anyone is Interested

I've read a few posts wanting to know about the band over plication surgery or banded plication. Here is an article I found today that appears was published today, thought I'd share.

Thank you for posting this article. I am thinking about having this done when I get banded, but I am not sure until I talk with the doctors about it. The part that appeals to me is (not necessarily the quicker weight loss that may come with it), but the fact that it can reduce band slippage probability and may reduce the fills I would need. That alone, makes it appealing to me after reading how getting fills can be a problem in itself, with maybe being too full, or not full enough, etc....

Yes, I too am considering it as well. Will find out tomorrow for sure if my surgeon has performed this in the past...good luck and keep in touch! If you do get it we can compare notes since not many have done it...

That is a great article and it explains the surgery very well. I have had the Lapband with Plication and I have had great results.

Check out www.sleeveplicationtalk.com to meet more people like me that have had this surgery.

Okay, this is good to chat with others who have had it, or want to have it. My Doctors have done it. When I attended the orientation, one of them had already done 5 and the other had done 1 or 2. I'm sure by now they have had more. That was June.

Butterfly, have you found that you eat less than what the average banded person eats?
