Hi! I don't know your name, but I'll be there at the same time. My surgery is the 8th. My name is Kelly so come say hi!

Good for you Steph! I'm scheduled for Plication June 8th. I'm starving on the Pre-op diet, but lost 10 lbs in two weeks, which I was never able to do before. I guess just the idea that I have a reason to lose the weight is worth the hunger - that and I'm banking on not being hungry after the surgery! I read this board a lot looking for tips and encouragement. This will be another tool to add to my tool box, along with my gym membership (that I never go too, but I pay for every month..just in case ), my hypnotherapy cds (which I listen too every night and I love them). I eat healthy organic foods, but I'm always hungry so I over eat. My hope is this will solve that! Kelly

Hi Sarah, I go in for my surgery in exactly one week. How did you feel the first week after your surgery? My son in flying in to San Diego to be with me after the surgery(he's in the military and not allowed in TJ) and we thought we would stay in SD a few days to site-see (we used to live there). Did you have much pain or energy that first week? Kelly

Hi Donna! Good to "see" you here! I'm doing the #2 diet as well and I'm STARVING. When I do eat though, I get full on smaller portions, but then I get hungry. I drink tons of water, and I take the fiber pills which help somewhat. I'm down about 10 lbs and have two more (at least) to go. My surgery is a week from today!! I'm hoping the hunger goes away after the surgery.

Hello All, I am looking for experiences from previous patients who have gotten the Gastric Plication surgery. How do you feel now? Is there anything that you regret? Has there been any complication or discomfort that you were or were not aware of beforehand? How were you treated all along the way, by the staff, the doctors, and the hotel? I'm looking for honest references, the good, the bad and the ugly so that I can make a thoroughly informed decision. Please either post here, or email me directly at Kellyinpdx@gmail.com. My surgery is scheduled for June 8, 2011. Thank you so much!! Kelly
