Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery Cullman Regional Now offers the Gastric Sleeve, or sleeve gastrectomy weight loss surgery with Surgeon K. Mac Cottingham. The Sleeve Gastrectomy is a surgical procedure that induces weight loss by restricting food intake. With this procedure, which is usually performed laparoscopically, the surgeon removes approximately 75 percent of the stomach. This results in the stomach taking on the shape of a tube or “sleeve” which holds much less food. To learn more about this weight loss option, call Cullman Regional Physician Referral at (256) 255-4706 and ask for a referral to Dr. Cottingham.
