Sleeve Gastrectomy Sleeve gastrectomy, also called a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure. This procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, which involves inserting small instruments through multiple small incisions in the upper abdomen. During sleeve gastrectomy, about 80 percent of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of […]
Mini Gastric Bypass The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is basically a very simple, successful and reversible laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery which is widely used for weight loss. Further, it has been recently renamed as One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass. This type of surgical operation usually takes shorter time, with shorter or similar hospital stay as regular […]

Gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y (roo-en-wy) gastric bypass, is a type of weight-loss surgery that […]
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) A frozen embryo transfer (FET) is a cycle where a frozen embryo from a previous fresh IVF cycle is thawed and transferred back into a woman’s uterus.
