What is the name of the weight loss surgery that is not gastric bypass or lap band?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastric sleeve: Gastric sleeve is newer than lap band and gastric bypass. All these procedures are effective. Best results are with a team and bariatric program before surgery. Okay to visit with local surgeons who perform bariatric surgery.
