Bariatric surgery is a type of surgery which is usually performed to people that have obesity problems. There are two weight loss surgeries to be considered and these are the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. According to some researches, these procedures may cause a long term weight loss, diabetes recovery, improving the factors of cardiovascular risks, and also reducing mortality.

These two procedures may only be recommended to people who are obese and have a body mass index or BMI of at least 40. And also, these are recommended to people that have a BMI of 35 and also to those who may have significant medical conditions such as diabetes. So it means that any patient that has more than 30 of BMI will automatically be a candidate for gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy operations.

The laparoscopic adjustable gastric band or LAGB is commonly called as lap band. In this procedure, a silicone device will be placed around on the top part of the stomach for the treatment of obesity. The purpose if this is to slow the food consumption, thus, reducing the food amount to be consumed.

An individual may achieve and sustain his or her weight loss. It is done by selecting the right healthy food options, food limit intake, reduce appetite, and also by the food progress from the top to he bottom portion of stomach digestion. However, this may only be applied for people who have tried proper diet and proper exercise before the surgery.

According to some researches, this kind of surgery may not be a very easy option for people suffering from obesity. This is because it is a step which is very drastic and it also involves severe pain and risks just like any other types of surgical operations. However, it is less invasive and the person may only stay in the hospital for a short period of time after the operation. And other advantages of this is having smaller scars, faster recovery, and lesser pain compared to other procedures.

Lastly, not involving the removal of some stomach parts, movement of intestines, and involving staples is another important advantage of this method. Biocompatible materials are being used, thus, there will no harm when placed inside a persons body. Not all patients who are obese become automatically candidates for this. Those with extreme obesity and those having abdominal surgeries previously have some different kind of approach.

The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is another surgical procedure for weight loss where in the stomach will be reduced by 15 percent of its size. This is done by removing a large part of the stomach in curvature areas. This would result to a tube or sleeve like form.

This method type of weight loss is one of the very common options in New York. Parts of the stomach are removed longitudinally for about five to six centimeters from the antrum to the fundus near the cardia. Most often, the stomach size remaining approximately is about 150 milliliters.

This type of surgery can also be applied to both adolescents and children. According to some studies, it causes a large amount of weight loss to them when they reach the age of 5 to 21 years old. This surgery also causes complications like blood clots and infections, esophageal pain, vomiting, sleeve leaking, and many more.
