Any Band With Plication Out There?

[lawson 14]

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...

I was banded yesterday with plycation. I have some tenderness at the port sight but other than that I am good! Looking forward to seeing the new ME!

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
