I live near Port Huron, and also chose to drive all the way across the state to Dr. Gluck! I had Gastric Plication surgery on Oct. 18th. I am having a hard time finding anyone else on this site that not only has had the surgery, but is also supportive of it. Many people here are not so nice to us. Glad to find others who are going to Dr. Gluck at least!
Unfortunately there are a lot of people on the OH boards who don't support something they don't know much, if anything about, especially if it isn't the surgery they had. There are getting to be many different types now.
I've heard of the Gastric Plication before, but don't know anything about it. Can you tell me what it involves, and if you know, how its different from Gastric Bypass?
Thanks!

Gastric Plication folds the stomach inside itself to make a 'sleeve'. It is much like the sleeve but with out removing any of the stomach. No by passing of anything or malabsorbtion. It is also completely reversable if for some reason it needed to be. You could go to Dr. Brian Gluck's website and get more information I guess. I am about 2 months out now and so far very happy! You do lose weight slower than with other surgery's but I feel very good and have never (as of yet) had any problems!
That's great! Thanks for the explanation and I'm sure you'll have a successful weight loss journey!
