Summary
This study is testing a new powered stapler (AEON) used during sleeve gastrectomy, a common weight-loss surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces serious complications like bleeding or leaks from the staple line. About 100 adults having their first sleeve gastrectomy will be enrolled and followed for 3 weeks after surgery.
