Each of you who are considering any type of weight loss surgery needs to do your own research. To this end, I would like you to consider a research article that appeared in the June 2001 issue of the Annals of Surgery, by Eric J. DeMaria; Harvey J. Sugerman, et al, High Failure Rate After Laparoscopic Adjustable Silicone Gastric Banding for Treatment of Morbid Obesity, Vol. 233, p 809-818.

Since our last issue of our Newsletter in which I detailed the activities at the American Society for Bariatric Surgery meeting that I attended, and the FDA approval of the lap band, I have gotten many requests for further information about the lap band. Many seem to be excited because the lap band sounds like such an easy solution. It is minimally invasive and can be tailored to the amount of weight that you would like to lose. Consider, however, that only about 300 of these surgeries have been performed in the United States under the FDA trials so we have little opportunity to question fellow patients about their experiences.

The Conclusion of the article reads, The Authors did not find LASGB to be an effective procedure for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. Complications after LASGB include esophageal dilation, band leakage, infection, erosion and slippage. Inadequate weight loss is common, particularly in African American patients. More study is required to determine the long-term efficacy of the LASGB. By the way, LASGB stands for Laparoscopic Adjustable Silicone Gastric Band.
