Adjustable Gastric Band

Adjustable Gastric Band is a strictly restrictive weight loss surgery that does not involve rerouting or bypassing of the intestine. It works simply by decreasing the size of the stomach by placing a silicone band around the top part of the stomach, allowing you to feel full quicker and stay full longer. Weight loss is much slower with this procedure but you can expect to lose about 50-70% of your excess body weight in about three years. The band is intended to remain in place at all times, but can be removed in cases of emergency.

  • Advantages:

    • Restricts food intake
    • Reversible
    • Less invasive
    • Resolution of some comorbidities

  • Risks:

    • Gastric perforation
    • Port malfunction
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Band migration/slippage

Roux-En-Y

  • Roux-EN-Y is a laparoscopic surgical procedure that combines restrictive and malabsorptive components. It decreases the size of the stomach to about one-ounce capacity and bypasses part of the small intestine to decrease absorption. This is the most commonly performed weight loss surgery and you can expect to lose about 80% of your excess body weight within 12 months.

    Advantages:

    • Restricts food intake
    • Weight loss is rapid
    • Average loss of excess weight is 60%-70%
    • Resolution of some comorbidities
    • No adjustments post-operatively

    Risks:

    • Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
    • Dumping syndrome
    • Ulcers 60%-70%
    • Gastric leakage
    • Bowel obstruction
