Types of Bariatric Surgery Performed

1. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNY)
2. Laparoscopic Gastric Banding

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNY)
According to the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the current gold standard technique for weight loss surgery. This is the type of operation offered at Hickory Surgical Clinic.

Laparoscopic Gastric Banding
Like the gastric bypass operation, the LAP-BAND procedure reduces the effective size of the stomach. With gastric bypass, this is accomplished by stapling and dividing the stomach. With the LAP-BAND, this is accomplished using a plastic band that fits around the top part of the stomach like a belt. The band is hollow and is filled with fluid. By adding or removing fluid from the band, the band can be tightened or loosened.

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. © 2003-2012 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
