It can be done through 3 to 4 tiny (5mm to 12 mm) holes on the tummy (Key hole surgery), or it can even be performed through a single hole in the belly button, where we call it SILS sleeve surgery(Single incision Laparoscopic sleeve surgery) . The stomach volume is reduced to approximately 80 to 100ml, by firing Staplers along the long axis of the stomach alongside a gastric tube introduced through the mouth under anaesthesia. The stomach now looks like a narrow sleeve, and hence the name, sleeve gastrectomy. The staple line in then sutured to ensure safety from leak and oozing. The remaining major part of the stomach is removed through the 12mm hole. But in SILS, a single incision is made for the whole procedure

This is a non surgical procedure where in a balloon is introduced into the stomach using an endoscope. The balloon occupies a good amount of space in the stomach, thus giving a person the sensation of fullness. The patient ends up eating very little, this leads to weight loss.

It could be tried in individuals with BMI up to 32.5, But results may not be very satisfactory.

Another Laparoscopic procedure to lose weight (Bariatric surgery) performed on the stomach and the small intestine as well. Though it requires more skill to perform, it is considered as the Gold Standard in weight loss or bariatric surgery. It started more than half a century ago, but gained popularity and success only after laparoscopy got well established. Here the stomach is divided into a small and large pouch using staplers. The smaller pouch which is approximately 30ml is then joined to the intestine, bypassing the remaining larger portion of the stomach along with approx 70 to 100cms of the small intestine. Hence, the name gastric bypass. This procedure is very effective in weight loss and more so in the long term maintenance of weight. Besides this, the gastric bypass also helps in resolving obesity associated comorbidities like, Type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, weight related joint pains, obesity related infertility etc.
