Love my lap band with plication!

[dgoertz1 120]

I amso happy that I had my surgery with plication on Nov 6,2012. I have lost 84 lbs. I can only say best decision of my life! I will be 60 on the 22 of Sept. I've lost every day. Not seen my surgeon in months(hesucked). It's totally about you and what you want! I can honestly say I have never had any great replies to my comments. But.... Who cares. I will answer and help anyone. I've been there. Donr that! Great success to everyone!

You are where I hope to be on or around my 1 year mark. I am so inspired by everybody I meet on here that goes at this seriously and does so well.

Congratulations! That's a great achievement! May I ask how lap band with plication is different from just a lap band? And what made you decide on this type of surgery?

Thank you

I also had the band with plication. My surgeon suggested it and I said why not. He told me it would lessen the likelyhood of slippage and also decrease the size of my stomach (basicaly they fold the stomach into itself and stitch it. Sort of like the sleeve without the cutting. Plus if I lose the band, I keep the plication and some people have been know to lose the weight with just the plication itself. I believe Carolinagirl hasnt had a fill yet and shes lost lots of weight. I have only had one fill thus far and even though, I believe the fills will help me lose it better, the plication has definitely helped so far.
