Can you explain what a plication over a sleeve is and why it was done?

I've never heard of this...

Hiya.

I'm sorry this has happened. I have no idea what the solution is. I'm a detective with the police in Australia. I'm also an on call Negotiator. I unfortunately at times speak with people at pretty dark times in their lives because they've stopped taking their meds. I'm sure you're under a huge amount of pressure. Please don't change or stop taking your medication without speaking with your psychiatrist.

I'm sure there's a solution. Maybe get your weight loss professionals speaking with the mental heath professionals to come up with a solution - that's what we pay them for!

All the best,

Deano

I thinkmtheyndomtndo plication s in the US. Basically they make a sleeve like stomach by folding the stomach like an accordion and twitch through the stomach.

Ok,so you had the sleeve plication surgery not the vertical sleeve gastrectomy where they remove 80% of your stomach?

The two surgeries are very different and the outcome of them often as well.With the VSG our stomachs are very very tiny and our capacity very small.The calorie intake is less than 800 per day.

What is yours?Have you cut your carbs?

Some meds do make it harder to lose but on 800 calories any one should lose at least some weight.Low carbing also helps the weight loss tremendously.

Sorry I cant be of more help.But good luck and I hope you will start losing soon.

You're going to have to give us a more complete thought to be able to offer you any meaningful help

Some people are just slow losers, but we can't really label you as that unless you tell us how far out you are and how much you have lost so far.

Is it possible you are just in a stall?

I had surgery on 12/6 and have only lost 12 lbs.
