About Alabama Bariatrics
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is the most commonly performed bariatric operation in the U.S. now. 85% of the stomach is removed through tiny incisions resulting in 70% excess weight lost on average*. The risk of long-term side effects are just about the lowest of any bariatric surgery.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass is a tried-and-true bariatric operation in which a small pouch is created and the stomach bypassed, resulting in 70% excess weight lost on average*. This surgery was a major advance over the old “stomach stapling†over 30 years ago; another major advance occurred when this bariatric surgery was first performed laparoscopically over 20 years ago.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band (the LapBand and the Realize band) is an implantable device, placed around the stomach to control hunger and restrict food intake. It results in 50% excess weight lost on average*. This is the least invasive and lowest risk of all bariatric surgeries. Adjustments in the office are important for success.
