This process restricts an individual from overeating by removing two-thirds of the stomach. It also helps in decreasing the hunger hormone Ghrelin production by the stomach. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery reduces at least 60-70% of excess weight from the patient’s body.

Laparoscopic gastric bypass involves the combination of both restrictive and malabsorptive procedures. The procedure involved under this surgery is, cutting the stomach into a small pouch and further joining it to the small intestine. The whole process results in reducing the intake of food and the absorption too. The patients who have uncontrolled diabetes or reflux disease are the most suited for this surgery.

The adjustable gastric band treatment comprises of a hollow and inflatable band. This band is composed of silicon rubber, which is placed encompassing the stomach creating a small pouch resulting in narrowing the passage to the rest of the stomach.
