Sleeve "tightening" through plication?
I'm looking for anyone who has information on sleeve revision through plication? I was told that this is what Dr. Ortiz (Mexico) prefers when it comes to revising the sleeve to tighten it for better restriction. Has anyone had this done? I'm familiar with the original plication procedure on full size stomachs (which did not have great success) but have no information when it comes to a prior sleeve patient. Thanks!

Since the full size stomach did not have great success, the sleeve would not be any different. The technique used would be the same, the plication can come undone the same way. I believe you should look at an experienced surgeon to revise and make your sleeve smaller.
