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:

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
