Gastic Plication

Welcome -posted 5/31/11 10:20 am
So as I searched the web for information on Gastric Plication, I saw that there were not many active sites and also that one of the best sites (this one) did not have a group for this. So I started this group.
A bit about me...I was banded in 2003 in TJ at 310 lbs and lost down to my goal weight of 145 in about 18 months. Everything was great until about 2 years ago when I started having less restriction and found out that my pouch was dilated. I tried everything, but nothing worked. My doctor suggested revision surgery. I reviewed my choices and decided on Gastric Plication. I didn't want another band (as it's harder and harder to get a fill in the US if you are banded out of country), I didn't want to have part of me removed - so this was the best solution. I know that this is a fairly new procedure. So was the band when I got it in 2003. All results to date have been very positive on this procedure...so time will tell. I hope to find others researching similar issues and share our journey....
