average weight loss with gastric plication

[Sparky2901 0]

Hi - I had a lapband for 6 years and did my fair share of throwing up and getting food stuck in the band. Then my band eroded so I had to have it removed. I gained 18 lbs in 3 months. Then I had the Gastric Plication in August. I have never thrown up or slimed with the plication. Its heaven compared to the lapband.! I personally know of 8 people who had the plication done, and the weight loss results vary from one to the other, just as any other procedure. One lady lost 67 lbs. in 6 months, and another lost 25 in 5 months. Everyone is different. A lot depends on your activity level and how many calories you put into the new smaller stomach. It doesn't matter which procedure you have, you still have to stay away from high caloried foods, such as sweets, deep fried foods, sodas, etc. I highly recommend the plication. It is reversable as well, where the vertical sleeve gastrectomy is not. I recommend Dr. Lopez Corvala in Tijuana at the Hospitale Angeles. He has been doing this procedure longer than anyone in North America.

Good luck.

Hello,

I am new and I am very interested in this surgery. I was pretty set on the VSG and was going to be a self pay and then I heard of this procedure just days ago. So forgive me if I seem to have not done my homework , but I am actually just getting started:)

I know this and all WLS are tools and you have to do your part, but is weight loss similiar to VSG or is it much slower as some of the info I have read on a blog?

If any one has had this procedure and could share their weight loss, I would greatly appreciate it.

One other issue that scares me is throwing up, I know this sounds ridiculous but I am afraid if I have this or any WLS that I will throw up often or have what I have read as sliming?

Thank you so much and I am so happy to have found this forum, everyone seems so nice and it is such a comfort to someone trying to find their way to weight loss success.
