Hi All,

I have been lurking here for some weeks and have decided it is time to become an active member of this most helpful community. I had gastric plication almost three months ago and am happy with the my progress to date. Of course it is far slower than those of you had a sleeve or other malabsorptive surgery but it is working. I would to hear from any of you that have had plication and would also be very happy to hear from anyone that lives in my area. I would love to find some in person support and to give the same. I am in SW VA. Nice to be here with you all.

Welcome and good luck. It seems as though you are excited about your progress and have realistic expectations concerning your progress. I don;t live in your area, but I have a lot of internet-buddies.
