Obese disease is a disease in which fat tissue increases to the extent that it is harmful to human health. If one's body weight is 20% higher than normal, that person is considered obese. If the Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9, it is considered overweight, and 30 or more is considered obese.

In the laparoscopic procedure, surgeons make small incisions (5 mm - 10 mm) to reach the abdominal cavity via trocar (small surgical instruments like tubing). The laparoscope, which is connected to a small video camera, is inserted into a small trocar. The resulting image is projected onto a TV screen, giving the surgeon an enlarged view of the stomach and other internal organs. 5 to 6 small incisions are made and trocars are placed to use special surgical instruments to perform the surgery. All surgery is performed in the abdomen after the intra-abdominal cavity is inflated with carbon dioxide gas. When the operation is over, the gas is taken out.
