Gastric plication surgery is an innovative weight loss procedure where the stomach is folded to reduce its volume. By decreasing the stomach's capacity, patients feel fuller faster and consume less food, aiding in weight loss. Unlike other bariatric surgeries, no part of the stomach or intestine is removed, and no artificial devices are implanted. Patients undergoing gastric plication can expect to lose approximately 30-55% of their excess body weight over two years.
Key Benefits and Considerations
Key Benefits
Minimally Invasive Procedure
The surgery is performed laparoscopically, with no stapling or cutting involved
No Foreign Implants Used
The procedure uses your stomach's natural tissue without adding any devices
Shorter Recovery Period
Most patients leave in 1–2 days and return to routine activities within weeks
Reversible Procedure
Unlike gastric sleeve, the procedure can be reversed if needed
Reduced Stomach Capacity
The folded stomach restricts portion sizes, aiding long-term weight loss
Considerations
Immediate Risks
Rare post-surgical complications such as bleeding, infection, or reactions to anesthesia
Leaks
Though uncommon, a leak at the suture line can occur and require medical attention
Need for a Revisional Surgery
The stitched fold may loosen over time, which may require a revision or conversion to a different procedure
