Lap Band Over Gastric Sleeve. Although Gastric Sleeve is a great procedure, some patients may experience inadequate weight loss. This can be, in part, due to the gastric sleeve stretching out over time, thus allowing patients to eat larger quantities of food. The procedure is performed laparoscopically using a few tiny skin incisions, takes 45 minutes, and is a same day procedure. A Lap-BandÂ® / Realize-BandÂ® can be placed over the gastric sleeve, to give patients the added restriction that they may have lost.
Rapid and long-term weight loss without implants or rerouting intestinal tract. In gastric sleeve surgery, about 60 percent of the stomach is removed laparoscopically, leaving behind a sleeve of the stomach. This smaller stomach restricts the amount of food a patient can eat and leads to significant weight loss.astric Bypass. Rapid and long-term weight loss. The most common type of bariatric weight-loss surgery, gastric bypass, works by laparoscopically reducing the volume of the stomach. The intestines are rerouted and a small stomach pouch is created by stapling off the main body of the stomach.
