Gastric by-pass by Laparoscopy
Not all operations to cure obesity are the same . And although they all have in common the reduction in size of the stomach , they are not the same.
The technique employed by our team is the gastric by-pass by laparoscopy , with over 1,500 successful operations performed to date.the gastric by-pass by laparoscopy is a reversible operation and remarkably low-risk , because it is performed without having to cut the patient open , as happens in a conventional operation.
