Kuldeep Singh, M.D. , joined the Division of General Surgery at Northwest Hospital as the division head of Minimally Invasive Surgery, specializing in bariatrics.

Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery involves stapling the stomach and rerouting the small intestine to form a small stomach pouch about the size of an egg.

Adjustments to the band can be made without additional surgery, and it is reversible if necessary.
