Gastric Plication in Mexico

The Procedure:

Also known as gastric imbrication, the surgery is performed laparoscopically — 5-6 small holes will be made in your abdomen through which some cameras and surgical instruments will be inserted.

One or more large folds are sewed in the stomach, resulting in the reduction of its volume by upto 70 percent.The surgery leaves a much smaller stomach with significantly reduced food-holding capacity, which gradually results in weight-loss.

Unlike gastric sleeve, this is a reversible weight-loss surgery and can be converted into a different type, if required at any later stage.

How many days will it take?
