Banded Gastric Plication Demonstration Memorial Weight-Loss Surgery Program
Banded Gastric Plication is demonstrated by Dr. Brett Cohen of the Memorial Weight-Loss Program.
This type of laparoscopic weight-loss surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that combines two techniques: gastric banding and stomach plication. “Plication” of the stomach involves folding, not cutting.
Dr. Brett Cohen, at Memorial Weight-Loss Surgery Program, is one of the only formally trained bariatric surgeons in Florida offering this technique.
When performed together, these procedures create one small stomach pouch at the top of the stomach and a narrow, sleeve-shaped lower stomach that cannot expand.
The goal is for people to eat smaller portions of food and feel satisfied between meals. Banded gastric plication allows some patients to experience more significant results with less risk than other procedures.
