Lap Band Offers Less Restrictions

Unlike the other restrictive procedures, LAGB does not result in a permanent altering of the anatomy of the stomach or small intestines. LAGB is a reversible procedure and it produces no risk of major nutritional deficiencies. LAGB is thought of as a safer procedure than the gastric bypass or malabsorptive procedures. Weight-related problems have been known to improve with LAGB such as sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, asthma, and hypertension.

LAGB offers a number of advantages over other bariatric surgeries, including: Lower mortality rate: only 1 in 2,000 versus 1 in 250 for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery; is fully reversible in that the stomach returns to normal if the band is removed; no cutting or stapling of the stomach; shorter recovery time; adjustable without additional surgery; no malabsorption issues (because no intestines are bypassed); fewer life threatening complications.
