Yes general anesthesia is used.
Yes, you have to have a general anesthetic for a gastric sleeve.
Yes, you will require general anesthesia with an endotracheal tube to assist with your breathing during this procedure. Anytime you have an interactive Domino procedure where they use gas to insufflate your abdomen, this will be a normal process.
