So...They say the plication surgery cannot leak but while I was at Hospital Angeles the X-ray guy took the doc aside and showed him some images of a leaking plication they had had earlier that day. Apparently the girl had been taken back into surgery and the issue was resolved.

So anyway, if anybody is considering the plication just remember that even though it is a less invasive surgery the risk of a leak is not completely gone.

Just thought i would pass it on. cheers all!

Everything has risks. I guess it was leaking from a stitch spot? I wonder how it is to have your stomach folded up like that long-term.

I hate to be a downer or anything but it seems like Plication patients aren't losing the weight they had hoped, are still very hungry, and I guess from your post can still get leaks. Now I'm not trying to be a B and say that their surgery isnt' working but seems like it isn't working for them like the real sleeve is.
