Types of Gastric Banding/Bypass Performed

1. LAP-BAND
2. Gastric Bypass Roux-en-Y

LAP-BAND
Since there is no cutting, stapling or stomach re-routing involved in the LAP-BAND System procedure, it is considered the least traumatic of all weight loss surgeries. The laparoscopic approach to the surgery also offers the advantages of reduced post-operative pain, shortened hospital stay and quicker recovery. If for any reason the LAP-BAND System needs to be removed, the stomach generally returns to its original form.

Gastric Bypass Roux-en-Y
Nationwide, statistics indicate the Gastric Bypass surgery is effective in 85 percent of all people who have the surgery. Success means the individual must lose at least 50 percent of their excess body weight and maintain that weight loss for more than five years. Bear in mind, this also means that 15 percent of all people who have had Gastric Bypass surgery did not lose weight, or they lost weight but gained it back within five years.

Laparoscopic or open bariatric surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass is not an easy solution to morbid obesity and weight loss. It is a serious surgical procedure, involving health risks. To produce lasting weight loss it requires a long-term patient commitment to eating a healthy diet and following a regular program of physical exercise. Life-long use of nutritional supplements may also be necessary. So, before deciding, discuss your options fully with your doctor. © 2003-2008 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
