Overview
Gastric plication is a reversible weight-loss surgery in which the stomach is folded inside and stitched to reduce its capacity, helping patients to feel full with a smaller amount of food and therefore lose weight (up to 70% of excess weight). Gastric plication is performed laparoscopically, through small incisions made on the stomach. The results of gastric plication are long-lasting and you can lengthen its benefits as long as you follow a healthy lifestyle.
