The number of patients going abroad for gastric surgery is rapidly increasing in the UK – the main factors being very competitive pricing in hospitals outside of the United Kingdom.

However, most of the patients going for a gastric sleeve surgery abroad, or gastric plication surgery abroad, still find it difficult to decide which one is better for them.

Gastric Surgery Options

The best answer to this can only be provided by the operating surgeon – however, there are some guidelines that can help one decide on which of these two popular surgeries could be most suitable for them.





While both of these surgeries provide with exactly the same results, gastric plication seems to become a more popular option between international patients.




Gastric plication surgery functions much like the gastric sleeve by creating a smaller stomach that restricts the amount of food you can eat.

The results are promising: substantial weight loss, drastic improvement of obesity-related health problems and a low complication rate.




Patients can expect to lose from 40% to 100% of their excess body weight within the first two years after the surgery.Many medical conditions related to obesity (hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea etc.) usually improve after this type of weight loss surgery.




Laparoscopic gastric plication surgery is a restrictive procedure that shrinks the size of the stomach by making large folds in the stomach’s lining, thereby making the patient feel full sooner.

In most cases, the stomach size is reduced by about 75% during the procedure.



The gastric plication procedure is performed laparoscopically, meaning the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen through which surgical tools are passed.




One of the advantages of the gastric plication surgery abroad is that there is no removal of stomach tissue, which means that the risks of complications after such surgery are significantly lower, and this is one of the main reasons why people from the UK, when going to another country for a gastric surgery, choose the plication surgery over gastric sleeve surgery abroad.





Both, the gastric sleeve, and the gastric plication surgery, provide long term weight loss results: rapid weight loss and less hunger.
