  1. 2013 Weight Loss Reunion Are You Going?

    Giorgio Bottani replied to Phoenixrise's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
    In our Italian Centre we operated 50 patients with gastric vertical plication laparoscopy. The group of patients showed a good control of hunger, reported early satiety during meals and a sense of discomfort at each overeating. The average hospital stay was 36 hours. No intraoperative complications. All patients had a loss of excess weight (EWL)% to 20% after 1 month. In further experiments the average was 62% EWL% (range 45-77%) at 1 year Currently there are four international studies with limited numbers of patients, but on average it was found a% EWL (excess weight loss) of 69.6% at 1 year in 300 patients.
