Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery
Standard gastric bypass procedures can be accomplished laparoscopically. A tiny video camera and surgical instruments are inserted through small incisions into the abdomen. This allows the surgeon to make a small gastric pouch and bypass the majority of the stomach. Suitable for most patients, this procedure is less invasive, which can support a faster recovery. The average weight loss is 75% of excess body weight.
