Any Band With Plication Out There?



Recommended Posts

I've had a band with plication and one very small fill. Surgery was July 31st and my weight was 197 and as of today I hit 170! I wish I could lose faster but I'm still happy and glad I had it done !

Plication is alternative to the sleeve. Instead of removing parts of your stomach, it is folded and sewed to make your stomach smaller.

I had band with plication on Nov 5, and so far, so good! I did extensive research into it before I made decision. I am only 5 days out, so I am still on post op diet and still recovering, but that is going well. Better than I thought. I am purchasing a new scale TODAY because I truly don't know how much I have lost, but I lost about 16 total pre op! I think this was a good decision, and my doctor has done quite a bit of the band w/ plication and he encouraged me to research before I made final decision! I'm determined to make this work! You sacrifice too much time, money, energy, etc...

Whats Plication?

They fold the top part of the stomachs just below the lapband and stitch it in place sorta mimics a gastric sleeve. Reduces the size of the stomach 30% and may increase weight loss by up to 30% I had it done there was no cost increase or no additional risks so why not try it?

I had my band w plication done on Friday 9 still in moderate pain, nothing unbearable tho. I can only intake 4oz of liquid at a time so it's hard to get my Protein requirements in. I'm down 11 pounds and very excited about it! Just hope the pain goes a way soon so I can get back to living!

I was banded with plication on November 1st. So far, I am down 33lbs since the start of my liquid diet. I am 11lbs lost post-op. I am doing the wrong thing by weighing in daily. I know I should weigh in weekly, but it's become a slight obsession. My advice, don't weigh in daily. It can get discouraging. Some days I drop, others I stay, and yes I have gained. However, it washes itself out. Instead of celebrating daily that I lose this or that, Celebrate getting into a smaller size. One thing I do notice from day to day, is that my intake increases. I am getting my appetite back. This is where it's MY accountability to diet really comes to light. The band and plication aren't my solution, but a tool! It's ultimately up to me, right? I am determined and driven for results!

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!

Bread is very hard... try toast

      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
