A method of performing a vertical sleeve gastrostomy. The method includes positioning a surgical device adjacent a stomach, positioning a first leg of the surgical device on a dorsal side of the stomach, positioning a second leg of the surgical device on a ventral side of the stomach, approximating the first leg with respect to the second leg, and limiting movement between the first leg and the second leg with a closure mechanism.
