carlak 59 Posted April 24, 2013 well as you know ive been worried about extra cost for plication. Tricare wouldn't cover any complications f I had plication since its not FDA approved ~~ guess the good lord made my decision. I only need to lose 5o-6o lbs I feel like I can do it with the band!!

Bandashoop 31 Posted April 25, 2013 Ya, how does the band NOT slip up without plication? Isn't that where they stitch a part of the stomach around the band and back onto itself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisacaron 5,075 Posted April 25, 2013 Actually plication procedure that I have heard about is where they fold the stomach in on itself and then stitch it. So it resembles the gastric sleeve without the cutting and removal of the stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
