Surgical treatments break down into restrictive, malabsorptive, combined restrictive and malabsorptive or motility-reducing procedures.
Laparascopic implantation of an adjustable gastric band is an efficient restrictive measure for treating the majority of patients with this condition. The adjustable gastric band enables weight loss and food intake to be adapted to the individual patient's need. Eighty percent to 90% of these patients can expect to lose 55-70% of their excess weight.
The death rate in centres with experienced staff is less than 0.3%.
Surgical treatment for obesity has proved that it is the best and most effective means of preventing the life-threatening complications and serious degenerative problems associated with morbid obesity. There is no one operation that is effective for all patients.
