Stomach stapling, also known as gastric bypass or vertical banded gastroplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the stomach, limiting food intake and promoting weight loss. By stapling the stomach vertically, the pouch created holds only small amounts of food at a time, forcing patients to eat less and feel full faster.
