Gastric Restrictive Procedure

Restrictive WLS works by lowering the quantity of food consumed by the patient at a time and does not hinder with the normal process of digestion. In a restrictive weight loss procedure, a smaller upper stomach pocket is created by the surgeon, which connects to the rest of the stomach. Weight is lost by the reduced stomach capacity, which directly results in a lower intake of calories.
