I've been trying to decide between the band and plication. To that end I've been doing a lot of research. I've been leaning towards the band because there seems to be so many people disappointed with their weight loss with plication. During my research I'm finding that MANY doctors recommend having the plication WITH a band. I haven't read anything like that in this forum. Do they do this at OCC? What do people with plication think about this?
I had the lap band and plication surgery done on February 14, 2011. My doctor suggested and thought that I would benefit more with having it done this way. I have lost 37 lbs so far with NO fills. I haven't had any complications at all and I feel better than I have ever felt. I am right on target losing 1-2 lbs a week and that's without them filling my band. Good Luck!!
