I had my plication on April 11, 2011. Lost 15 lbs before surgery. Have lost additional 33 lbs since coming home. April 11 was a monday, flew home to Washington state on Wednesday, back to work following monday. I have a desk job, so wasnt too worried about getting back to work. That said, I think I am still recovering. I am on solid food now, but still do 1 protein shake per day. Have a hard time getting water in. How can you drink 64ozs of water without stretching your new stomach? After about 1/2 Cup I feel sick. Add to that no fluid for 1 hour after a meal. Dont mean to complain, I feel soooo much better now, cant wait to get to goal weight. Would do it again with no second thoughts. This is truely a blessing and a gift.
One of the added benefits is that sweet foods make me quezzy.
Blessings, Sandi
