GETA. It's abdominal surgery.
General anesthesia is used for gastric bypass procedures and for sleeve gastrectomy. General anesthesia gives the patient the safest, most comfortable experience and allows the surgical team perform the most efficient procedure. In particular with general anesthesia, the patient’s airway is completely protected, allowing the anesthesia provider to position instruments into the stomach through the mouth safely.
