“…In contrast to VBG and adjustable gastric banding techniques, no foreign body such as mesh, silastic band, subcutaneous reservoir, or connecting tube is utilized in this technique. Avoiding foreign bodies would reduce the complication rates such as re-operation, which is one of the challenges in adjustable gastric banding procedure (63% reoperation rate and a 48% band-removal rate) [12][13][14].…”

“…All of these methods are shown to be effective; however, they are not without complications. VBG and LAGB use mesh or silastic band [9][10][11] which remain in the abdomen and are associated with foreign body related intra-abdominal infections or intestinal obstruction requiring emergent laparotomy in 33.1 to 48 percent of patients [12][13][14][15][16]. Purely restrictive techniques such as sleeve gastrectomy do not result in persistent weight loss and thus sometimes require revision surgeries due to secondary weight gain.…”

related comorbidities include a wide range of conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, social isolation, and depression [4]. Studies have shown that obesity is associated with increased risk of various neoplasms such as breast, colorectal, esophageal, hepatobiliary and prostate cancer [1,5]. While lifestyle modifications and exercise have been shown to be effective as first line intervention in obese individuals, these modalities have little effect on morbidly obese patients and bariatric surgery remains the most efficient treatment option in this patient population [6,7].
