65-70 lbs to lose

[Crha 1]

I have about 60lbs that I have gained and cannot seem to get off....never been an issue in my life berfore but since hitting my mid 40lbs my weight has become a battle I cant seem to win! I expected to put on a few pounds as I got older, but nothing like this and it isn't stopping. I have started the process to have a surgery, at first I thought the VGS but now Im leaning towards the Pilication.

Is it fair to assumed with the lessor of weight loss the Pilication might be a better option or should I go with the VGS? Thanks

I don't know a lot about the Plication, but I had VSG August 22. Although I initially needed to lose 90lbs, I was considered a lightweight and chose to go with the sleeve. The only side effect or complication I've had was my GERD got a little worse. I knew that was a possibility with the sleeve, not sure with the plication. Other than that, it has been amazing and very successful for me. I know the plication is reversible, and the sleeve is not, so that is something you will have to take into consideration. Personally, I like the idea of the non reversible procedure. Go big or go home! If I'm going to do this, I may as well go all the way and completely change my lifestyle. For the first time in my life, I'm in complete control of what and how much I eat, and that to me was worth it! Good Luck to you whatever decision you make!
