I'm interested in hearing how others with lapband and plication are fairing? I had surgery on 4/25/2016, so it's only been 7 days. I feel great, no major problems or hiccups but I just feel like maybe I'm not eating enough? I don't know how to tell if I'm full or maybe it's still too early to tell?

Anyway, just wanted to see how others are doing or how their journey has gone.

I can recall two members who had band w/plication. CarolinaGirl lost a couple hundred pounds. She went a good year or more before she though she might need a fill. I think she's still doing well, but she doesn't post here much anymore.

I've read other posts by members with plication and don't recall any of them having problems. Don't be surprised if you go several months with very little hunger and of course, very little room for food to displace. Welcome and have fun on your journey.

Thank you for the info. Not quite two weeks after surgery and I'm down 31 lbs! No issues and no hunger, which is a very weird feeling that I'm getting used to.

Most plication patients lose weight faster than the rest of us. Keep going!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
