The investigators hypothesize that staple line reinforcement will result in a higher leak pressure than a non-reinforced staple line closure in the resected gastric specimens from laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The primary endpoint of the study is leak pressure after various staple line treatments. The investigators will also analyze the most common site of specimen leak, association of stomach thickness to leak, association of stomach thickness to performance of the staple line techniques, and a cost analysis.
