At AMBI we provide the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy procedure on its own, as a single technique rather than as a first stage to a bypass or duodenal switch. Many patients are happy with the results of a sleeve gastrectomy alone. If a patient chooses, they may have a second procedure one year after the sleeve gastrectomy.
