Placation to sleeve

[Northfilly]

I am having gastric plication to sleeve surgery December 17th 2021 at OCC. I have not seen a lot of information out there about this kind of revision, has anyone had this done? I'm very nervous, my plication surgery was done 8 years ago. Some doctors say this is a risky surgery some say it's not.. please help!

Hi Northfilly, This group was started back in 2006 and was 100% lapbanders. Time and new procedures have kind of left this group in the stone ages. So your not going to find much here on the Sleeve or Placation surgery. I'd suggest the OCC Facebook groups for a little more info. But, I can say since Placation surgery can be reversed, going with the Sleeve surgery should be easy for the OCC.

Bummer!! I don't have any kind of social media.

If you have internet you can sign up for FaceBook. If you want to remain anonymous, do it under a fake name. But, there's 4 or 5 OCC groups that are all patients of the OCC and can give you want as far as information.

Has anyone gone through this? Surgery date in 5 days, getting nervous, if anyone has ever done a revision it would be really nice to hear from you..is this a lot more difficult to go through  then a regular sleeve?
