Hi guys!
In my experience, I had the plication on July 1st 2011 (a year and a few days ago) and I should say, that if I have to do it again, I will do it without even thinking about it. I had my surgery on the Dominican Republic (Hospiten) and I'm thrilled with my results. I went from size 22 to size 7, so far I've lost 65 pounds, I know that it's not too much but I'm very happy with the way I look now. I am healthier. Before the surgery I was having issues with high blood pressure, that's my PAST!
If you're considering a plication, you should know, that like in any other surgery there might be some complications, it's a non-natural procedure, you are making some adjustments to your body, stomach, the risks are really really low. Go for it and you won't regret!
P.S. My recovery was incredibly fast, no pain.
