Gastric Plication Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico
A weight loss surgery procedure that is performed by Hidalgo Bariatrics in Tijuana, Mexico, among other locations. It is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce the size of the stomach and limit food intake, ultimately leading to weight loss.
During the gastric plication surgery, Dr. Hidalgo creates multiple folds in the stomach and sutures them in place, effectively reducing the stomach’s capacity. This procedure does not involve removing any part of the stomach or rerouting the digestive tract, as seen in other bariatric surgeries like gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery.
Advantages & benefits of having a Gastric Plication Surgery.
*Notice the results may vary for each patient depending on many factors related to race, age, health, gender, and whether or not the patient follows the doctor’s post-operative instructions.
The Gastric Plication surgery in Mexico takes about 1 hour.
The patient may lose up to 55% of their excess weight within 2 years of surgery.
Explaining the Gastric Plication Surgery Procedure.
Gastric Plication surgery, also called laparoscopic greater curvature plication, gastric imbrication, or pseudo sleeve surgery is similar to the Gastric Sleeve in that it creates a smaller stomach and restricts the amount of food that a patient eats.
The big difference between Gastric Sleeve surgery and Gastric Plication surgery is that with Gastric Plication, the stomach is sewed in on itself in a wrap rather than with the Gastric Sleeve, where Dr. Hidalgo would just remove about 80% of the stomach. This surgery helps the patient feel fuller when eating, as the stomach area has been greatly reduced and ideally a patient will eat less and lose weight.
The incisions we make at Gastric Plication Surgery.
Gastric Plication surgery is considered investigational/experimental and does not always have the results the patients are looking for. For example, Gastric Plication typically results in less weight loss and may result in fewer health improvements, than the more established Weight Loss Surgeries. One of the benefits, however of Gastric Plication, is that it does provide meaningful weight loss without the doctor having to remove part of the stomach or rearrange the small intestine.
That said, however, it has mixed reviews regarding failure and complication rates amongst most medical professionals. Gastric Plication surgery does not provide very effective weight loss and Dr. Hidalgo recommends you consider Gastric Sleeve surgery in Mexico or Gastric Bypass surgery in Mexico instead of this weight loss surgery option. Either of these two procedures should provide you with much better results. If you have any questions, please let us know and we will try our best to provide you with all the answers you may need.
This surgery may take one month for a full recovery.
