Ty for this thread since there seems to be no one in here, I go to the other sleeve forum, n yea, they seem to think their surgery is the best, and ours to many complications, one of the threads did mention the sutures could scrape And cause infection. ..

Anybody have this prob,,, I am looking forward to my date, I still feel this is the best for me,,

I always thought it was strange that everyone else thinks the plication has too many complications. I CHOSE the plication because my research showed it had the LEAST complications of all the weight loss surgeries!

Hiya all. I'd like to chat too with people who have had this surgery. I had sleeve plication last September and things seem to be going pretty well though I'd really like to be losing faster but That requires that I eat less Every day is a new start.

I'm clovers@aol.com.

I also had the plication in July of 2010. Coming up on 2 years now. I got down to 10 lbs away from my goal. Went up a couple and stay between 160-163. (My ultimate goal is 150.) It takes constant daily work to keep this weight off. I can never let my guard down. Don't go into this surgery thinking once you have the weight off its easy then. It is very difficult to stay on track. Don't get me wrong, I am very very glad I had the surgery and would do it a hundred times over. It just takes alot of work. Learn good new eating habits while you are losing. When you are maintaining those habits will be in place.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
