  • Stunning New Research: "Placement of a gastric band appears to be a disservice"

    "The placement of a gastric band appears to be a disservice to many morbidly obese patients and therefore, in the current culture of evidence based medicine, the prevalent use of laparoscopic gastric banding can no longer be justified. " Dr. Guller from Toronto, Canada. Furthermore, they state: "There is mounting and convincing evidence that gastric banding is suboptimal at best. "

  • "CONCLUSION: Our mid-term results were disappointing, with a high complication rate and many dissatisfied patients."

  • Thank you so much for posting this video, I have opted for the RYN procedure, and my family would prefer the lapband. After doing some local research I found that too many people had some bad experiences with it slipping - Thanks again.
