What are the different types of weight loss surgery?

There are four main types of procedures:

1. Gastric Bypass Surgery separates the stomach into two unequal compartments with less than 5% of the stomach remaining usable for food consumption. During digestion, the food empties from this tiny stomach pouch into the upper intestine.



2. Laparoscopic Banding is a procedure in which the stomach is encircled with an inflatable plastic band(such as the LAP-BAND® or REALIZE® Band), restricting food intake.


 3.Sleeve Gastrectomy (more commonly referred to as the Gastric Sleeve) is a procedure in which about 85% of the stomach is removed, leaving 15% of the original capacity which is shaped like a sleeve.



4. Biliopancreatic Diversion creates a smaller stomach (similar to gastric bypass surgery), but in addition there is less absorption of ingested food inside the intestine.
