| 5) With both these options, how do I choose the right one? |
A. After educating yourself to all the aspects of these operations you can decide with your surgeon which is the best operation. Both the operations can be performed laparoscopically in almost everyone.
The Lap-Band requires significant post-operative manipulation, has a re-operative rate that is high, but is the simplest procedure to perform. The Lap-Band probably has the lowest average weight loss and is a much slower weight loss than the other operations. The operative mortality is the lowest of all the procedures. There are occasional patients that do not lose significant weight after this operation
The gastric bypass is the most studied of all the bariatric operations. It is generally a safe and effective operation. There is a higher early complication rate than the Lap-Band. |
