I had it in june.....just wondering how everyone else is doing with it, down 60 lbs with no fills, I still get sick if I eat to fast but only if it gets stuck, I was the 2nd one that my surgeon had done, but the first one did lose much weight, so I ask anyone how they are doing except here.

I had it done, too, 6 weeks ago. I am down 25 lbs. I went for my post op check last Thursday and my surgeon didn't think a fill was necessary. I agree! I go 4 to 5 hours between meals and eat with no problems. I get full quickly and have no cravings. Life is pretty great! I am so glad that I had the plication done. I can't see that there are any downsides to having it done. Best decision ever.

Same here, I really didn't want to do the plication, but my dr doesn't like to do lapband alone, she said it reduces band slippage, so I went for it and I'm glad I did, she won't do any fills until I stop losing weight, she said the band is for back up.

I am strongly considering plication, and am almost convinced that is the way I want to go. It sounds like it is very effective. I'm glad my doctor suggested it.

Gotta say my plication has been good but I'm not losing a ton like I thought I might. I've gotten 2 fills. I think the band, the plication, and me all need to work together. I do get full faster, but I need to really track my calories to lose weight.

I'm a year out from lap band with plication and am down about 88 lbs. I'm happy with the amount I've lost, the time it's taken to lose it and I'm about 13 lbs away from my initial goal. One of the best decisions I've ever made!

I have some issues with bread and or if I don't eat slow it tends to get stuck, I didn't even think I would have any restrictions with the band being deflated but it's still there so I guess it can still cause my food to get stuck, I still get bouts of nausea alot! I just try to deal with it and get use to it!

I've had 2 small fills and I too get stuck with bread and I get full much faster than before. In that sense, the plication is good.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
