I never heard of this before, so googled it. They fold the stomach into a smaller shape, similar to a sleeve, but don't cut the stomach. Is this being done in the US? The website says the procedure is in the "investigative" stage. The website said it was a lapband revision surgery. http://obesitycontrolcenter.com/surgery-options/gastric-plication/

Not always. They do a surgery called the banded plication. It's where they put a lap band and do the plication at the same time. That's what I'm doing. Yes it's done in the US. It's new.
