Hi everyone,

I have my surgery scheduled with dr. verboonen in Cancun Aug 5th. I planned to get the plication verses VGS but all the positive comments makes me uncertain now. Ugh, I am excited and scared, very scared all at the same time!

Hi there! I know how you feel. Myself and both of my parents are scheduled for plication in Tijuana on August 10th. I have decided that I am going to switch to the sleeve though. I went back and forth and back and forth between the two. However, I just don't feel comfortable not knowing anything about the long term effects of having your stomach all folded and squashed up. I know it is advertised as being safer, but there are some pretty serious complications being witnessed with plication too. I seem to have found better weight loss results with the sleeve online. My parents, however, have done their own due diligence and seem most comfortable with the plication. I guess you just have to see what feels right to you. Whichever you choose I'm sure you will do great. Once you have made your mind up on which you want, try to do something to take your mind off the surgery, or you'll make yourself sick with anxiety. Best of luck to you!! Let us know how it works out for you.
