Laparoscopic surgery is also called minimally invasive surgery, keyhole surgery, or bandaid surgery. Laparoscopic procedures can be performed using small incisions of around 0.5 to 1.5 cm that can be made far away from the surgical site. Small, thin surgical instruments can then be passed through the incision and threaded through to the operational site. The whole procedure is carried out using a laparoscope, a small tube with a camera at the tip used to relay images from inside the body to a TV monitor.

Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries make changes to your digestive system, helping you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat and/or reducing the absorption of nutrients. Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries are done when diet and exercise haven't worked, or when you have serious health problems because of your weight. There are many types of weight-loss surgery, known collectively as bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass is one of the most common types of bariatric surgery in the United States. We prefer gastric bypass surgery because it generally has fewer complications than do other weight-loss surgeries.
