Anyone have a plication in addition to a band?

I got my band in July 2009 and 6/3/2013 I had a plication done in addition to my band. My doctor refers to it as a pleated band. I just started mushy foods this week. I'm Hoping I'm in the right area for support. I lost 102 with my band but after 3 miscarriages. Put back 50 lbs. hoping the plication will help me to get back on track.

I just had the exact same thing done last Tuesday!! I gained back 30 pounds after my bad slipped and my doctor (Dr. Billy) recommended it. I'm still on liquids but I'm so excited!! I think this may be the solution. I have another five days of liquids then I get soft foods. How are you feeling? Do you have restriction? This procedure has also eliminated my heart burn which was horrible before! Goo luck!!

My doctor has put me on mashies 4 days early. I was so excited. I made a crustless quiche that has really been a life saver. I definitely feel full. Tonight I tried some chili and I thought it really filled me up but I have been up since 3:30am with indigestion type of feeling.,I never had heart burn before but have a bit now but he thinks my band may be a little too tight with all the swelling. We're going to adjust it. I agree. I feel like this is my second chance. I want me back. Please keep in touch. We need to support each other.

I start soft food on Friday!! I'm excited, I'm so damn sick of Soup. I do get much fuller faster and if I eat to much or fast I feel sick. I've lost 7 pounds in the first week. I'm so excited to get back on track. You mentioned a quiche, I'm sooooo craving eggs for some reason. I think I'm going to eat them for every meal on Friday! Ha!
