Gastric Surgery

Gastric surgery is a general term for any surgery that is performed on the stomach. There are many different types of gastric surgery, and they are performed for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common types of gastric surgery include:

• Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB):  This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a band around the upper part of the stomach. The band creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach, which makes the person feel full after eating a small amount of food.
• Vertical sleeve gastrectomy: This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves removing about 80% of the stomach. This makes the stomach smaller and also reduces the number of calories that the person absorbs from food.
• Roux-en-Y gastric bypass:  This is a more invasive procedure that involves dividing the stomach into two parts and then rerouting the small intestine. This makes the person feel full after eating a small amount of food and also reduces the number of calories that they absorb from food.
