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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
