Weight Loss Surgery, or Gastric Sleeve surgery, is performed using small keyhole incisions on the abdomen. A thin surgical instrument with a camera attached, known as a laparoscope, is inserted through one incision so that the Surgeon can see the client’s internal organs. Additional surgical instruments are inserted into the other incisions to remove portions of the stomach. Once 70 to 90% of the stomach has been removed, the Surgeon will create the Gastric Sleeve by stapling the remaining portion of the stomach. The incisions will then be closed with sutures.
