Topic: total vertical gastric plication
Has anyone on here heard of this procedure thining of going to mexico to have this procedure done!
It is supposed to be less invasive as they dont cut away your stomach. They stitch it onto itself to make the sleeve only 3 yrs of trial results out and are comparable to vgs and gastric bypass
any input would be great!!

Emily- BCBS TX now covers sleeves.  BCBS Of LA has no coverage for any bariatric surgery.  If you friends are local, tell them to call Dr. Gachassin & Dr. Eschete's office in Lafayette.  They have an excellent program .

I see Dr. Carole Holton and she is wonderful. She is very easy to talk to.
