You can also get a banded plication too, possibly following a failed band;

I'm glad I chose the band, the other options don't sound right for me. What do u have?

They also do it now (in the US at least) as a whole procedure, this woman explains a banded plication very well;

You're welcome, i dont think they do banded wraps in Europe yet either, but, if its good, i expect it wont be long. We usually follow the US after a while!

[Snow White]

That's awesome! That's why I opted for the band, just in case
