Hey everyone! There's a friend on youtube that had gastric plication about a month ago......after her surgery which she had in ohio, she had a major complication and almost died....it seems that her stomach where she was plicated actually died from lack of blood flow leaving her more with like a vsg or sleeve now. I am considering plication but now that I have seen what happened to her, im not so sure. Some people say that her doctore was in-experienced and others including my friend say that there's no way to tell who will react this way from the surgery. she says there has been a few cases where this has happened. now i also know a few friends who have had the plication done and they are doing very well. i considered myself to be a great researcher. i have been investigating this surgery and surgeons for quite sometime now and no where have i came across this type of thing happening as a potential complication. i realize that there is no long term data where gastric plication is concerned yet because of it being new. that could be the reason. i am a self pay so i have all the weight loss surgeries at my finger tips and i have never been more confused than ever! ANY THOUGHTS?????????
