Types of Gastric Surgery Performed

1. Laparoscopic Adjustable Band (Lap-Band)
2. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Laparoscopic Adjustable Band (Lap-Band)
Reports from these countries indicate that Lap-Band patients lose as much weight over 5-7 years as do the Roux-Y Gastric Bypass patients. A difference in the weight loss pattern in that the Lap-Band patients don’t lose the weight quite as quickly in the first 1-2 years, but they often don’t regain some of that lost weight between years 2-5 as is seen in patients after a Roux-Y Gastric Bypass.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
The Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass (or Roux-Y Gastric Bypass, or simply RYGB) has become one of the most common operations we offer patients. We have found that patients long term note excellent satiety despite the small volumes that they eat. Vitamin and mineral replacement has limited the number of patients developing deficiencies. Weight loss in our patients has been comparable to that described in major studies.

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
