Bariatric surgery is a term from the Greek words for “weight” and “treatment” . The most common form of bariatric surgery is Gastric Band surgery. In cities like New York Lap Band surgeries have become increasingly popular, though one needs to analyze carefully whether they are suitable for the procedure.
Gastric Banding
Laparoscopic gastric banding is a purely restrictive operation. The ASGB device is a band with an inflatable balloon connected to a reservoir implanted underneath the skin. There are two available devices. The Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band® (Obtech Medical AG, Switzerland) is only available in Europe. The LAP-BAND® system (BioEnterics Corporation, Carpentaria, CA) has been available in Europe, Australia, and South America and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States in June 2001.
