possumtrot got a reaction from senickisncis in Calling all (TGVP) people!!! new procedureI'm confused about TGVP. Some are calling it plication, some imbrication. Is there a difference in the two terms, and if so, what is the difference?
The thought of it being reversible is of course attractive, but would there not be damage to the stomach after being pleated for a while? Have they successfully reversed TGVP and patients had no complications? I'm scheduled for VSG...of course just now seeing TGVP and my last minute nerves are jangling...what if I have selected the "wrong" procedure? I know what I'm doing is the right thing, but what if a better choice for me would be TGVP?
Any explanations will be greatly appreciated. What little I can find online is rather limited.
