I was wondering what are the different types of bariatric surgery?

It is not a walk in: Procedure , what type depends on needs , one may need temporary reversible , ( adjustable ) lap band , some need gastric resection like, sleeve resection , or more complex gastric by pass , where small stomach pouch is created and connected with bowel loop ( rouex en "y" ) anastomosis . One has to get enrolled in a program first , get evaluated , non operative method first before under taking.

There are three.: There's the LapBand, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, in usual order of amount of weight lost from least to most.
