I had both done (band with plication) on 2/21/12. I am very happy with my choice. I have only lost 23 lbs but this is my fault. I NEVER get hungry but can't seem to break the habit of just eating at mealtime whether or not I am hungry. Good luck with whatever you choose.

hey guys! I had the band with plication (or as my doc calls it the "iband") on Feb 13th, so far I've lost 55 pounds!! I love it!! My doc said most bands will leave you sore a day or two afterwards, but with the iband I was sore for 6 days! very painful but the liquid hydrocodone helps alot! I dont know how much for I can say how amazing the iband is, so worth it! my doc says if i keep up with my progress I should be at 100 pounds lost by august!

I just had lapband with plication yesterday- may 18. I feel pain at the port but it's not unbearable . It feels like I did a million sit ups. The worst for me so far has been severe cotton mouth! I've been eating ice all day. I would also say to walk walk walk and drink mint tea for gas.

Hey, yea most was following docs orders! I am big about the Water rule and that seems to make a difference; no Water 10-15 mins before meal and no water 30 mins after. I've been eating frozen tilipia that you bake for like twenty mins and its soo good, and i dont like fish so that is saying something! that and the bumble bee chicken salad packs, chicken salad and 5 crackers is like the perfect for a small meal! also very important to get in your Protein, the one i love is Premier Protein.. I found it at sams its already liquid so its great for on the go and taste pretty good!!

not really exercising like i should, but soon ill be going more.. need to get past this month!! My goal is to be at 199.. at least! so i still have about two hundred to lose.. but still its a good start!

The band with plication is suppose to help you loose more then the regular lap band!! I hope I am not too sore afterwards!!

Yep it is and so far the people that have it are losing very well. But you have to follow Dr. Orders. I had my surgery May 18, and started Protein yesterday it's tough getting all of it in. I think because the stomach is still swollen. When do you go for surgery ?
