In which a gastric sleeve and a gastric bypass are performed together in the same operation,
Thus, the stomach has two openings to drain food, the first for gastric sleeve, and it is the natural exit of the stomach.
The second part depends on connecting the stomach with the intestine after excluding part of it.
