I have been banded about 23 weeks. I have a 10cc band with 6.75cc filled. Is plication something that can be done now? Just curious if can be don't after the initial surgery. Thanks in advance.

This would require an additional surgery. From the looks of your weight loss, you are doing wonderful. Is there a reason you would want to add an addional WLS?

You really need to ask your surgeon about that, and it might depend on whether you'd want to keep your band at the time of a revision. I've heard of band with plication as a first-time, combo procedure, but haven't heard of adding plication to an already-banded patient. To add plication now, I think your surgeon would have to remove your band, do the plication, and put your band back in place.

you are doing so great...i am so proud of you....just keep in mind that just because one has plication, it still must be used correctly..i think some are thinking it is like the sleeve..the results vary by usage.. but it still takes work aka eating better/exercising...(when i am hungry, i eat more Protein and drink) hang in there :wub:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
