Please use this thread (or feel free to start a new one) to discuss the gastric sleeve plication surgery. This surgery is similar to the traditional gastric sleeve in that the stomach is reduced to a sleeve shaped tube. The main difference being the gastric sleeve removes a portion of the stomach whereas the sleeve plication uses stitches to fold the stomach over itself and squeeze it into a sleeve shape, making it hold less volume but leaving the tissue there intact.
