Keyhole Sleeve Gastrectomy

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 43775

A weight-loss operation done through small incisions in which most of the stomach is removed lengthways, leaving a narrow banana-shaped tube. The smaller stomach holds much less food and produces less of the hormone that drives hunger, so appetite falls as well as capacity. It is permanent — the removed part cannot be put back.
