Laparoscopic gastric imbrication (LGI) helps to promote weight loss by reducing the
size of the stomach by plicating the greater curve of the stomach. However, if the
stomach is not adequately plicated at the fundus, gastric diverticula occur. In this
case the gastric diverticulum became symptomatic (chronic nausea) and necessitated
conversion to a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, which resulted in a resolution of
the patient’s symptoms.
