How It Works
The entire surgery is performed laparoscopically with the help of 4-5 small incisions. About 85% of the stomach is removed with the help of staplers. It significantly reduces the capacity of stomach from 1.5 liter to 150 ml. The unwanted portion of stomach is removed from the body.
Reduced Hunger Hormone (Ghrelin)
The fundus of stomach which is removed is responsible for the production of hormone "Ghrelin". It is also known as hunger hormone as it continuously stimulates the brain to eat more food. After surgery, you can be confident that your hunger levels are going to be significantly down.
