“…Weight reduction is a little slower than in our series of vertical banded gastroplasty, but it progresses for a longer period [16]. Other series with a follow-up of >1 year have shown similar results, with a mean percentage of excess weight loss between 48 and 70% [5,8,9,12,13,15]. Interestingly, O'Brien recently showed that weight reduction can progress for up to 4 years after the initial rapid fall usually seen following bariatric surgery [13].…”

Laparoscopic gastric banding is followed by a weight reduction that is similar to that observed after vertical banded gastroplasty, with a much lower postoperative morbidity, a shorter hospital stay, and an earlier resumption of normal activities. If these results can be confirmed by long-term follow-up, laparoscopic gastric banding will be confirmed as the restrictive procedure of choice for morbid obesity.

“…Many reports are available in the literature regarding complications directly related to the banding system such as: intra-gastric migration of the band, band slippage, or gastric perforation [5,11,14,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Most of these complications could be managed conservatively or surgically [32,33].…”

Mortality After Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding: Results from an Anonymous Questionnaire to ASBS Members

2009

Background Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) approved 6 years ago by the Federal Drug Administration is considered a safe and simple procedure for weight loss with a reported low mortality rate (0.05%) in the literature. The aim of the study was to probe the membership of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) to elucidate the incidence and possible causes of unreported operative and late mortality. Methods A simple questionnaire on early (30 days) and late mortality after LAGB and reoperation for banding was sent to 1,437 of 2,500 members of ASBS. Incidences and causes were studied. Results Of the 1,437 questionnaires sent, 453 (31%) were returned. Sixty-eight of the surgeons did not do any LAGBs, 350 had no operative mortalities, and 35 (9%) reported at least one operative mortality and had a total of 36 operative deaths and 19 late deaths, for a grand total of 55. Five additional deaths occurred after reoperations for LAGB, following removal, revisions, or conversions to another bariatric procedure. Of 62 deaths, the causes were: 20 (33%) cardiac origin, 11 (18%) thromboembolic, ten (16%) GI perforations, three (5%) bleedings, and 18 miscellaneous. Of all deaths, 40% occurred remotely from the band insertion date. Conclusions Although LAGB is technically simple, it carries a non-negligible short-and long-term mortality, with the majority being cardiac or thromboembolic. Late mortalities from LAGB and reoperations appear to be under-reported.

“…Recently, several series of patients having undergone laparoscopic gastric banding have been published. The early results in most European and Australian reports have generally been relatively good, with a low perioperative morbidity, a very low mortality, and a satisfying average excess weight loss [2,8,11,15,16,17,20,25,27,30]. Others have reported less favorable results with insufficient weight loss and/or high long-term complications rates [9,31].…”
