Gastric Plication

Category(s): Bariatric

One of the newer weight loss surgeries is the gastric plication. This is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that reduces the size of the stomach capacity to approximately three ounces. It does not involve inserting a medical device, removing a portion of the stomach or rerouting and reconnecting the intestine. The gastric plication may be reversible because a portion of the stomach is not removed.
