Adjustable Gastric Banding

A laparoscopic surgical procedure through which an adjustable band is placed on the upper part of the stomach.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y Surgery)

In this procedure, the stomach is divided into two sections, a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch, both of which is later connected directly to the small intestine through rearranging.

The surgery can be minimally invasive or can be done as open surgery as well.
