Weight Loss Surgery Dallas: Nicholson Clinic compares Lap-Band vs. Gastric Bypass

Posted by Nicholson Clinic in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Dec 24, 2007

LAP-BAND VS. GASTRIC BYPASS

Supported by multiple articles and publications, this comparison
examines both weight loss procedures. Each requires similar
incisions and average recovery time, but they differ in these ways:

LAP BAND SURGERY

  • Average 36% excess weight loss in one year; average expected 60%-65% excess weight loss in 3-5 years
  • Technically lower risk than gastric bypass
  • No dumping syndrome discomfort
  • Band may require multiple fills, at an additional cost, to be effective
  • Typically day surgery

LAPAROSCOPIC GASTRIC BYPASS

  • Average expected 77% excess weight loss in 12-18 months
  • Technically higher risk than Lap- Band
  • Some dumping syndrome discomfort
  • No need for fills or adjustments
  • Typically requires at least one night hospital stay
You should seek the opinion of a doctor who performs both types of surgeries.
Beware of programs that promise results “better” than the national average unless
they can provide documentation. Consider both options carefully and set realistic
expectations for yourself and your weight loss goals.

The Nicholson Clinic in Dallas, TX, specializes in laparoscopic weight loss
surgery including Lap Band surgery, gastric bypass surgery, sleeve
gastrectomy and revision surgery. Contact the Nicholson Clinic's
Dallas area office if you have any questions about this or any other
