Theoretically all kinds of surgical procedures for obesity such as laparoscopic gastric bypass, stomach stapling (gastric bypass), and other weight loss procedures can be performed laparoscopically (also called minimally invasive surgery), because it is performed through very small incisions and because postoperative hospital stay is shorter and recovery is quicker.

Theoretically all kinds of surgical procedures for obesity such as laparoscopic gastric bypass, the lap band (laparoscopic adjustable banding), stomach stapling (gastric bypass), and other weight loss procedures can be performed laparoscopically (also called minimally invasive surgery), because it is performed through very small incisions and because postoperative hospital stay is shorter and recovery is quicker. However, only the lap band (adjustable gastric banding) is routinely performed using this approach.
