Hi Bob,
Yes, gastropexy is the same thing as tacking. Here's a link that
describes the different techniques...

HI: Be sure and have your Vet explain that this gastroplexy is not 100%
foolproof and ask what the percentages are running, presently, with the
latest research on dogs torsioning in spite of the surgery. Used to be 15 %...
Some dogs develop adhesions and some suffer from infections etc... No surgery
is
100 % safe with no possible serious side-effects... Just have your vet sit
down with you and fully explain the possible down-side of this as well, so
you know going into it what you are getting your Boy into and the possible
negative outcome as well as the good...
Just a 'Head's Up'... IF your Shepherd comes from a family where
Bloat/Torsion Gastric is a serious Health Risk, then you probably are wise
to
consider having it done. JMO: Barb Williams
