Surgical procedures for obesity are not just operations that any general surgeon can add to his operation list. The surgeon must be familiar with the advantages of each of the operations available. Laparoscopic VBG is a simple, low risk operation that leaves the digestive tract in a normal anatomic relationship so that there is minimal risk of late complications and no predisposition to malabsorption. We use a modified technique to avoid using the circular stapler in 50 patients replacing the conventional laparoscopic technique aiming at decreasing cost and time of operation with less operative and post operative morbidity in our country.
