Study population: Mexican patients who underwent Gastroplicature

Brief summary: Between January and December 2012, a total of 40 patients underwent GLP. The study will assess subject excess weight loss (%EWL) following the study procedure at 3, 6, 12, 36 and 60 months.

Detailed description: The patient characteristics extracted from the medical records included age and gender. A detailed height and weight history was collected to reflect BMI, excess weight, %EWL, and %BMI before LGP and after 3, 6, 12, 36 and 60 months.

The institutional review board approved the present study.
