Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy has been shown to significantly reduce weight and has been
approved as a treatment of morbid obesity. The standard laparoscopic operation requires five
small incisions for the introduction of instruments and the band into the patient's abdomen.
The investigators have developed a technique for performing this operation through a single
incision at the belly button. This study compares this method to the conventional 5-incision
approach.
