Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to find out the safety and efficacy of Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication (LGCP) procedure. This study procedure is an alternative restrictive weight loss surgery that has the potential to reduce the complications associated with gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy by creating a small sized stomach without the use of an implant and without cutting stomach.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication (LGCP)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

This procedure creates a small sized stomach by folding the stomach twice into itself vertically. The functional capacity of the stomach is decreased by 80% of its normal(At least two rows of five continuous stitches are placed laparoscopically about the greater curvature of the stomach starting at or near the angle of His and ending in the antrum).
