There are many different surgical weight loss procedures. The LAP-BAND® and the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) are performed at The Methodist Hospital. The LAP-BAND® is considered a restrictive surgery and does not involve cutting or stapling of the stomach. Weight loss occurs by strictly reducing daily food intake. The RYGB surgery helps to create long-term weight loss by restricting the amount of food ingested and by causing malabsorption due to the surgical change in the intestinal tract.
