Gastric plication, also known as laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP), is an innovative weight loss surgery designed to reduce the stomach’s capacity without removing tissue or using foreign implants. Unlike traditional procedures such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, gastric plication involves folding the stomach in on itself and securing it with sutures to create a smaller, tube-like shape. This limits food intake and promotes an earlier feeling of fullness — supporting long-term, healthy weight loss in a safe and natural way.

At our clinic, we specialize in advanced, minimally invasive gastric plication techniques that ensure excellent results with minimal recovery time. The surgery is performed laparoscopically through small incisions, using specialized instruments and a camera for precise visualization. During the procedure, your surgeon reduces the stomach’s volume by up to 70%, creating a smaller pouch while preserving the stomach’s natural structure. Because no staples, bands, or resections are involved, the risk of complications is significantly lower, and recovery is typically faster and more comfortable.

Gastric plication is ideal for individuals struggling with obesity who want a less invasive alternative to traditional bariatric procedures. It is particularly effective for patients seeking a reversible, low-risk solution for weight management. Beyond weight loss, many patients experience substantial improvements in related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain. The surgery helps reset the body’s relationship with food — encouraging smaller, more mindful eating habits and long-term health improvement.

Every patient begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess medical history, lifestyle, and goals. Our multidisciplinary team — including bariatric surgeons, dietitians, and wellness experts — works together to design a personalized treatment plan. We provide detailed guidance on pre-surgery preparation, nutritional adjustments, and post-surgery care to ensure that your transformation is safe, steady, and successful.

Recovery after gastric plication is typically smooth. Most patients stay in the hospital for one night and return to normal activities within a week. A gradual diet progression, beginning with liquids and transitioning to soft foods, helps the stomach adapt comfortably. Within months, patients begin noticing significant weight loss and improved energy levels. Our dedicated aftercare program includes ongoing nutritional counseling, fitness planning, and regular check-ups to help you maintain your results and embrace a healthier lifestyle.

One of the most appealing aspects of gastric plication is that it preserves the stomach’s natural function. There are no foreign objects, no rerouting of intestines, and no removal of stomach tissue — making it one of the safest and most natural weight loss surgeries available today. This also means fewer nutritional deficiencies compared to more invasive bariatric procedures, allowing patients to achieve sustainable weight loss without compromising their health.

At our clinic, we believe that weight loss surgery is more than a physical transformation — it’s the beginning of a new, confident chapter in life. Our focus goes beyond surgical success; we empower patients with the education, motivation, and support needed to maintain long-term well-being. Each step of the process is handled with precision, compassion, and respect for your personal goals.

If you’ve struggled with dieting, exercise, or temporary weight loss methods, gastric plication offers a permanent shift toward balance, health, and self-confidence. With our experienced surgeons, cutting-edge techniques, and dedicated follow-up care, you can achieve lasting change — safely and naturally.
