    LAP-BAND vs. Gastric Bypass Surgery

    LAP-BAND surgery is less invasive than gastric bypass surgery because neither the intestine nor stomach is cut or stapled during the procedure. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, it is also completely reversible. Because may also be a safer choice for patients who are under 20 or over 60, and others who are at high risk for complications following bariatric surgery.

    Gastric bypass surgery involves stapling the upper portion of the stomach to create a small stomach pouch. The procedure not only restricts the amount a patient can eat, but also limits absorption of some calories.

    Did You Know?
    Bariatric surgery is a term derived from the Greek words: 'weight' and 'treatment.' Bariatric surgical procedures are major gastrointestinal operations that (a) seal off most of the stomach to reduce the amount of food one can eat, and (b) rearrange the small intestine to reduce the calories the bodies can absorb.
