It's a relative newcomer in the field of obesity surgery but the sleeve gastrectomy is showing some promising results. How does it differ from gastric bypass and other forms of bariatric surgery?

Bariatric surgeon Dr. William Norwood will be discussing that at noon today on Healthline 3. Just click on the Healthline 3 logo and you can watch the web chat live. To ask a question, simply fill out the information screen and submit it or give us a call at (318) 219-4569. Healthline 3 will stream live from noon to 12:30 p.m.
