A member asked:
I need help. i tried every diet but didn't work, now i want to choose between gastric band and liposuction. which one is better and why (pro and cons)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depending on the : amount of weight you want to lose will influence your choice. Liposuction is really designed for patients close to their ideal weight, but can't get off the fatty tissue after diet and exercise. If you have lipo and gain weight the fatty tissue will enlarge in other areas. gastric bypass is for patients with obesity that don't respond to diet and exercise. Hope that helps
