Kime-lou 648 Posted March 22, 2013 Lapband is just the band around the top of your tummy. Lapband with plication is where they place the band and sew the stomach off (make it smaller). From what my doc told me they sew up the "stretchy" part of the stomach to kinda make a sleeve, but with out removing like they do with the sleeve. I do not have the plication. My doc said that he didn't believe I needed it, so I did just the lapband. Carolina Girl has the lapband plus plication and she is rockin the hell out of this journey. She could give you more info about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
