It is the first technique to be performed amongst the weight loss surgeries and is the most researched technique.
It is a surgical method that reduces both volume of stomach and food absorption. However, nowadays it is substituted by surgeries such as Sleeve Gastrectomy, Mini Gastric Bypass. This surgery reduces the size of your upper stomach to a small pouch.
The food you eat then bypasses the rest of the stomach and the upper part of your small intestine. This reduces the amount of calories you absorb from the foods you eat.
It is performed as a closed-method, laparoscopically. So it does not leave any scar on your body.
