• The Overstitch procedure is carried out without an external incision. 
• It uses a minimally invasive method to insert stitches in the outer curve of your stomach and creating multiple folds to decrease the stomach size. 
• These folds extend till the junction of the stomach with the food pipe.
• In a similar way, stitches are placed along the inner curvature of the stomach to create a sleeve.
• This reduces the stomach size and helps you attain satiety soon after consuming a small meal, thus helps you lose weight by decreasing the total amount of food intake.
