I had Plication on July 28/2011



Recommended Posts

I am 36 years old. My pre surgery weight was 255lbs. I am now 2 weeks post op. My weight is 235lbs.

Today is the day I can start blended foods and I can't tell you how excited I am!

End of November 2010 but I didn't have much restriction once I got to being about a month out - and in case anyone's wondering I've never vomited since my surgery, nor even felt like vomiting so I shouldn't have any popped stitches or stretched anything out (no carbonated drinks either pre-op or now).

When did you have your procedure?

One of the tests I had to have before my plication was to do a GI series where they x-ray you while you drink the barium solution. I wonder if you could have one of those done to at least visualize what's happening with your stomach? I'm not sure that would work, but something like that might give you more information. You could then present that to the surgery center and see what they say. It definitely sounds like something isn't quite right (at least compared to my experience). Have you had anything looked at since?

I had to make sure that I used reflux as an excuse for the test since my insurance won't pay squat if it's related to bariatric surgery.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
