Lap Band With Plication



Recommended Posts

Great advice above. I had Lapband with plication exactly one year ago. Down 86 lbs, have always been able to drink with no problems. (don't have to sip)

Choosing to have this surgery was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm almost to goal and so happy with it.

Good luck!

I dont have to sip either. Congrats on all the weight loss! I'm down 16 since 8/10 (surgery) and 26 since 7/1. I definitely have restriction.

Not CG, but when you are eating so little you don't get as full. I was nervous in the beginning bc I was thinking I could eat alot but as you add thicker and more filling foods you should notice the restriction. I get chest pain if I eat more than about a cup. I am almost 5 weeks out.

i will (say in regards to what i know only) that yes, i felt restriction more after i healed. i am 3 months post op and get full on about 3/4 to 1 cup of food. i get that (thanksgiving dinner stuffed feeling). so yeah, i def feel it (and esp after i healed/swelling went down). i hope it is the same way for you. (also, just because you cant/dont feel (restricted) eat like you are anyhow).

I read the burping indicates that you have eaten to fast and to big of bites and the burping is brought on by while chewing the larger bite it brings in more air to your system. I was burping really really bad was embarrassing especially in public but since I read this I eat off toddler silverware now and it is so much better and I attempt to count to 50 between bites Slows me way down

      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.
