as a comparison to sleeve gastrectomy
the sleeve reduce the size of the stomach by 80%, the plication reduce it by 70%.
the Excess Weight Loss is by 60% for the sleeve and 50-60% for the plication.
the only difference is the complications, in the sleeve the percentage of gastric leak is around 2.2, it is rarely described in the plication.
on the long run (5 years) you will still had 50% of Excess Weight Loss
Gastric Plication is a restrictive procedure. It reduces the size of the stomach and limits the amount of food that can be eaten . It does not cause decreased absorption of nutrients or bypass the intestines.
It is done Laparoscopically . The stomach volume is reduced about 70%. There is no cutting, stapling, or removal of the stomach or intestines during the Gastric Plicaiton. The Gastric Plication may potentially be reversed or converted to another procedure if needed.
