Gastric Plication

Gastric plication is a more recent weight loss surgery procedure considered minimal invasive, it is a restrictive technique that reduces the volume of the stomach by creating folds and securing them with sutures, this aids the patient in making them feel fuller faster.

This technique is considered reversible because there is no portion of the stomach to be removed, or intestines rerouting, this technique does not decrease the amount of nutrients or calories absorbed by the intestines.

Dr. Alejandro Lopez performs this technique by laparoscopy, which a minimal invasive surgery procedure made by inserting tools through small incisions in the abdomen, this aids in a speedy and comfortable recovery.
