Big News For Big Loser Wannabes: New Minimally Invasive Device-Free Restrictive Gastric Plication Free Webcast

Free Gastric Plication Live Medical Webcast: You have nothing to lose but weight!

If you have been researching weight loss procedures, you can't afford to miss this free gastric plication webcast produced by Health Travel Technologies, part of the excellent Patient Education Series.

Gastric Plication is the latest in a series of bariatric innovations (including the gastric pacemaker and metabolic surgery) and features some great benefits for patients:

- minimally invasive: the procedure is laparoscopic
- device free - no band to refill or adjust or remove
- no resection - no loss of stomach tissue
- greater weight loss than LAP-BAND

All of this adds up to lower risk of complication. Weight loss results have been consistently comparable to the much more invasive RNY Gastric Bypass, or Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. The procedure requires only an overnight hospital stay, and unlike LAP-BAND, which requires a healing period before the first fill (after which optimal weight loss begins), weight loss begins sooner, and happens at a faster rate.

The About Gastric Plication webcast was developed in cooperation with the obesity surgical team of Hospital Angeles, led by Dr. Juan Lopez-Corvala, the world's leading gastroenterologist surgeon performing the gastric plication.

Bonus: The panel will spend some time discussing another recent bariatric innovation, Green Zone weight loss surgery.
