Types of Gastric Banding/Bypass Performed

Bariatric surgery (like adjustable gastric banding, lap-band, vertical banded gastroplasty, or gastric bypass) is one of the best options for people who are severely obese and cannot lose weight by traditional means or who suffer from serious obesity-related health problems. The surgery promotes weight loss by restricting food intake and, in some operations, interrupting the digestive process. As in other treatments for obesity, the best results are achieved with healthy eating behaviors and regular physical activity.

1. Restrictive operations for obesity include Adjustable Gastric Banding (AGB) and Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG).

2. Malabsorptive Operations
Malabsorptive operations are the most common gastrointestinal surgeries for weight loss. They restrict both food intake and the amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs.

3. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RGB). At Obesity Surgery Associates we complete over 99% of our operations laparoscopically.

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
