Congrats on the surgery and weight loss. I had Plication in October 2013. There was little pain, but a lot of nausea for the first couple days and I was fine after. Lets stay in touch and if you have any questions feel free to drop me a line as there are a much smaller number of us that had the plication surgery. I had it here in the US, but also considered Dr. Ortiz.< /p>

Iam 4 weeks post op 188 pounds. 12 pound lost post op weight , 19 pre op weight. I happy with my weight loss. I could have lost more, my exercise level is low twice a week, and i havent been counting calories or cutting the fat. my food intake is less than 1000 caloriea for sure. My goal now is to loose 2 pounds a week, i can manage that. And be arround 160-150 by the beginning of summer. Ive been experiencing small pain when i eat, maybe im eating tok fast. Im gettin also kinda paranoid everytime i feel something in my stomach, i immediately think of a possible complication! Hopefully ill stop worrying and enjoy my plicated life!

lila921, I want to assure you that if you are having complications you will definitely know! I did and there was a lot of very intense pain, so much so that I knew I had to get to the emergency room ASAP. I also want say that the statistics for complications with Plication are low, something like less than 1%. I am 6 months and 1 week out from the first surgery and have lost a little over 70 lbs with about 30 to go. Hang in there, you'll do great!

2 months post op, 183 pounds. The weight loss is slowing down drastically. I haven'tnt been working out our counting my calories so that's not helping either. i need to find a good diet plan to reach my goal weight. still don't know what's my stomach capacity, but I am eating way more than a couple of weeks ago. i suppose it's normal. I need to lose 23 pounds by June to be at a comfortable weight and the last 20 by the end of the year. Any tips or advice to keep loosing the pounds?

I had my plication surgery 2/25 along with hiatal hernia and nissen fundoplication surgery. I eat about 1k calories a day. I have been stuck several times on a certain number and I found increasing my calories to 12 or 1300 usually does the trick. I know I don't drink enough water so that's a hinderance as well as not walking enough. I have only lost a total of 16 lbs but that's about 3.5 lbs a week wt loss. I actually gained a few lbs twice! As soon as I get back on my Boost glucose control Protein Shakes the weight starts coming off. The reg Boost has too much sugar and calories so I stick to the Glucose Control Brand. My favorite is strawberry and the vanilla is good too. They really give me a boost! Lol

Hey can anyone tell me what type of surgery it is that yall got and what is the procedure like

[lila921 11]

3 months post op, 178 pounds. a total o 29 pounds lost, 28 more to go! i only lost 5 pounds in the last month, i didn't work out at all (maybe once a week), that explains it all. i'm having trouble figuring out a proper food and Vitamin supplement intake. some days i feel great, sometime super week. i take mutivitamins, B12,Calcium potassium and hair supplement. i dont know if i should add Iron too. and yeah i hair is falling of like crazy! a bald spot is building up in the middle of my head. i should really take the time to figure this out because i dont want to put my health at risk to loose a couple of pounds. your advice and recommendations are appreciated

I'm planning on getting sleeved in early September or October. I know the particulars about the surgery, but don't know why this option is chosen v.s. having a sleeve without plication. Did anyone's surgeon specifically recommend this for a certain reason? Thanks in advance.

I've having a weird/bad week. In my first week after surgery I lost 12 pounds. I'm in week two, and I only lost 3 pounds--if that. I admit I had a bad eating episode of saltine crackers, and I'm definitely not drinking like I should. I also had to be put on steroids for a bad allergic reaction this week. Nonetheless, I'm really disappointed that the scale isn't moving down any faster. I definitely don't want to feel like I'm already failing--but I really do.
