About

The falciform ligament is hanging down in the upper abdomen and usually impede the work during laparoscopic upper GIT surgery, especially in obese patient, so the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of routine suspension of falciform ligament during mini gastric bypass, which is advanced laparoscopic procedure, by comparing the outcomes in 2 groups of patient in the fist group the investigators will routinely suspend the falciform ligament and the other group the investigators will working without suspension
