Hi Olivia, I've been following your journey since you had your plication surgery and i haven't heard from you lately. It's been almost a month since you had the procedure done and i would like to know how you're doing and how much weight have you lots and do you have a lot of restrictions Also since your experience do yo recommend the surgery?? i'm still debating into the lab-band or the plication and would like all the information i can to make the right decision. Thank you and i hope you're doing great.

So I am a few days over a week since plication and I am down 12 lbs. I am sure I am down a few more since I last weighed in but I am trying to only weigh in weekly. Any one else doing that? I don't want to become obsessed with the scale ya know? I am still on full liquids but cooking for the family and being around food is really starting to get to me and the head hunger. I am staying the course so far, although last night I broke down and had a spoonful of hummus. I felt it immediately so I think I learned my lesson on that! I am not as lethargic as I was but it doesn't take much to wear me out. I finally started walking yesterday, I know I should have been doing it earlier but I...well I don't know why! I have had a few cocktails with my girlfriends which has helped to not make me feel totally deprived but I sip on the same drink for about 3 hours. I just want all this weight off like pronto but I know it is a process. The only irritant is the nightly stomach gurgling. It keeps me up and it almost feels like my stomach is growling followed by like a strange wave of nervous feeling. I don't really know how to explain it but I'm wondering if its normal. I am just looking forward to the soft diet in 12 days!

KTB, just had the surgery yesterday and man is this gas pain in my chest is horribly uncomfortable. Did this happen to you and how long does it last.

I'm so glad you're doing good. Was thinking about you yesterday. How are the people @ OCC did they meet your expectations and aside from the gas pains what other symptons do you feel.

They did! Tomorrow is the day!!!

Congratulations!!!!! please keep us upadated on your weight loss.
