Decided On Plication



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I've finally decided on plication after many months! Would love to hear anyone's experience or story as I am a bit nervous being that its a newer procedure. I am excited though, but nervous:)

Some people have been very successful with the plication, but I'm finding from my own experience as well as reading about others, that the plication is not for someone with a great deal of weight to lose. The restriction seems to be mostly gone after just a few months and the weight loss slows down or stalls, unless you REALLY work at it. But for someone with less than 100 lbs to lose, I think it's probably a good tool.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks for the reply! I only have about 60 PDs to loose now... So we ll see:) do you still have the restricted feeling months later? Feeling full quicker? How long have you had the plication for?

I do still have a little restriction left. It's enough that I think it is keeping me from gaining too much weight but not enough to help me lose much more. I'm grateful for what I do have, though, because I certainly can't binge like I used to! I've had the plication since March of 2011, so that's a little over a year and a half.

      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.
