- The stomach will be divided with a laparoscopic stapler. The real stomach will no longer attach with the esophagus and will no longer receive foods. New Stomach will receive the food which will be having the shape of the small tube.
- Around 2-7 feet of intestines are bypassed and remaining intestine will be attached to the new stomach by the surgeon
- Food will now flow to the new tube sized stomach and will bypass between the 2-7 feet of intestines where it resumes normal digestive process in your remaining intestine.
The process seems difficult but can be operated by the expert surgeons within an Hour only.
