Lap Band (Gastric Banding)
During gastric banding surgery, two devices are placed in the belly: an adjustable silicone band and an injection port.
The silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach. It molds the stomach into two connected chambers. The injection port is attached to the belly wall, underneath the skin. The port is connected to the band and is used to add or remove fluid (saline) when the silicone band is adjusted. Adding saline increases the band’s restriction, which helps you feel full sooner and with less food.
Gastric banding patients typically lose 47 percent of their excess weight.

- Overall quality of life

- Social and economic opportunities
Recovery
Your health care team will tell you when you can return to work and begin normal activities.
Ongoing Follow-up
- Gastric banding can help you feel satisfied sooner and with less food, but it won’t eliminate the desire to eat. You will need to follow your doctor's diet and exercise guidelines to achieve success
- Gastric banding requires more intensive follow-up care than most other weight loss surgeries, mostly because the band is adjustable. Keep in mind that even after reaching and maintaining your target weight, you may still need to see your health care provider for further adjustments
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy is a safe, effective weight loss strategy.
- Sleeve gastrectomy uses tiny incisions for faster recovery
- For many patients with Type 2 Diabetes, this is resolved after surgery
- Most patients have a short stay in the hospital and return to work in two weeks
Gastric Bypass
With gastric bypass surgery, the doctor creates a smaller stomach pouch. The doctor then attaches a section of your small intestine directly to the smaller pouch. This allows food to bypass, or go around a large portion of the small intestine where calories usually are absorbed.
Having a smaller stomach pouch makes you feel full sooner and eat less food; bypassing a portion of the small intestine means your body will absorb fewer calories.
Gastric bypass patients typically lose 61.6 percent of their excess weight.

Potential Concerns
- A condition known as dumping syndrome can occur from eating high-fat, high-sugar foods. While it isn’t considered a health risk, it can be unpleasant and may include vomiting, nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, and diarrhea
- Patients must supplement their diet with a daily multivitamin and calcium. Some patients must take vitamin B12 and/or iron
- The stomach, duodenum, and parts of the small intestine cannot be seen easily using X-ray or endoscopy if there are problems after surgery such as ulcers, bleeding or malignancy
