Lap Band With Gastric Plication



Recommended Posts

Today is day 5 I still feel the nausea a little bit, but it goes away quickly. I haven't thrown up since day 1! I started having some yogurt and cottage cheese today it tasted great, I will have eggs for dinner and hopefully I can tolerate it! I'm so happy to have gotten the plication as I already feel restricted without a fill! I also didn't experience too much pain, other than the first couple of days I feel great! But then again I think dr Snyder is amazing and I talked to a few ppl that had the plication with him and they all say the same thing!

Are there certain requirements to do the plication? A certain BMI? I just emailed my surgeon to see if I'm eligible.

Don't think there are any requirements and bmi either. Very few doctors are doing it you would have to find one that does it in your area.

Touria, did you have a pre-op diet and if so what did it consist of and for how long?

Awesome! I keep hearing about people that have to do liquids for 2 weeks! I was getting worried. Whew! How long did it take you to get a surgery date after your insurance approved you?

My paperwork was submitted to the insurance company on a Thursday and approved the following Tuesday.

I'm glad to see more people getting the band with plication my surgery is May 18. I'm excited and looking forward to hear the success of fellow Bandsters with plication.

I wish my doctor would of discussed this option with me! I had no idea about it.

@fnicole....I had no idea that plication exsisted until I went to the seminar my surgeon put on. Apparently its\'s still very new and only certain surgeons do it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
