stomach stapling
Surgical appetite reduction
Stomach stapling is a surgical weight-loss procedure that reduces stomach capacity by partitioning it with surgical staples, creating a small pouch that limits food intake.
The term covers several bariatric surgery techniques, though newer methods like gastric bypass have largely superseded it: She lost a hundred pounds after stomach stapling.
