Plication is when the surgeon folds the rounded portion of the stomach in on itself and then stitches it together. The result is a banana shaped stomach. It involves no cutting away of stomach tissue, and test results have shown that when done in addition to the band that weight loss results approach the levels of the Gastric bypass, without cutting. I have been very happy with mine. It is all done at the the same time.
