OK MONDAY MARCH 4TH I GO IN FOR MY GASTRIC PLICATION! HAS ANYONE AT ALL ON HERE HAD THIS PROCEDURE? ANY INFO AT ALL WILL HELP!! MY DR SAYS IT IS JUST A 'FORM' OF SLEEVE SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT!! VERY EXCITED AND SCARED TOO!! HELP!!

I know that Cleveland Clinic is doing a trial right now looking at gastric plication. The stomach is sort of folded in and stitched instead of removing it. It is also a restrictive procedure like the sleeve. Good luck with your surgery!

Hi there is a site called sleeveplicationtalk.com

That may have more on it...

I don't know if there are many people on this forum who have had it.. Here's one link;
