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?

Yes I only had to do 1 day of liquid diet, the day before surgery!

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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
