A patient with a BMI of 36 and comorbidities including hypertension and reflux went through pre-operative nutrition and behavioral health screening in preparation for a laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass. Part of her preparation included exercise physiology and attendance of support groups. She underwent a bowel prep and a 2 week liquid diet prior to the operation. A Foley catheter was placed and she was given heparin prior to induction. She has SCDs as well. The patient has a foot board and is securely fastened to the bed with tape and straps. The first port is a 5mm optically guided port at the left midclavicular line. This is the main working port of the first assistant.
