What is Gastric Plication Surgery?

• Gastric plication is also referred to as gastric imbrication.
• It is a restrictive weight loss surgery that involves folding the stomach into itself using staples to reduce the capacity of the stomach to hold food.
• The procedure does not involve the implantation of any medical device (as in the case of lap banding) or the removal of stomach tissue (as in the case of gastric sleeve surgery).
• Gastric Plication has not yet been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, USA) and is not widely performed in the USA.
• However, a number of surgeons in prime Mexican cities already have ample experience performing this relatively novel weight loss procedure.
• To qualify for gastric plication with MTC, your body mass index (BMI) should exceed 30 (with some exceptions for a lower BMI).
• Our surgeon would review your medical questionnaire to decide if you qualify for gastric plication or not.
