If you are one of millions of people struggling with your weight, you may have spent time researching weight loss surgery options. But there is a new weight loss surgery option you may not have heard of yet- Gastric Sleeve Plication.
Gastric Sleeve Plication is an evolution of the traditional Gastric Sleeve, offering patients a less invasive surgery with no device implants – and therefore fewer complication risks - as well as no necessary follow-up care such as fills and adjustment needed with adjustable gastric banding. In addition, weight loss outcomes are more immediate and dramatic relative to gastric band.
Gastric sleeve plication is currently performed only at two North American centers for bariatric excellence- in the U.S. (in clinical trial conditions only), and at Health Travel Guides featured provider Hospital Angeles Tijuana, located just 15 minutes from the San Diego U.S. border.
