Sleeve Plication Forum & The Gastric Sleeve Forum



Recommended Posts

I was nosing around the "other" forums and saw a lot of talk about the sleeve (nothing bad). Someone had mentioned possibly getting the sleeve instead of the bypass or band and they were directed to the Sleeve Plication forum. I am hopefully going to be approved for the sleeve but, I have never heard of sleeve plication until now (wasn't an option at my seminar). I just watched a utube video about it....interesting. Anyone else heard of it?

I did ask my doctor about it because it seemed reversible. His answer was that while it was theoretically reversible, no one has ever reversed one and no one knew if your stomach would just rebound. His view was that it was less commonly performed than the sleeve. He does both. Additionally I am told weight loss is a but slower with that vs the sleeve as I don't think it cuts down the intake nearly as much.

My surgeon does sleeve plication, but says it's not covered by insurance yet.

Wouldn't you still have the hunger hormone?

That also was mentioned. That the hunger would still be there, unlike the sleeve. It's strange how the stomach is folded. It doesn't seem like it would be beneficial.

It probably isn't as beneficial.....but it could still be effective to a certain degree....and appealing to people who feel the need for a "reversible" procedure.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
