Abstract
Gastric banding was one of the first operations to gain popularity within the field of bariatric surgery. This case details one patient's presentation and subsequent management of gastric band erosion with the hope of guiding other physicians and supporting the decreased use of gastric banding. The patient, a 61-year-old Caucasian female, presented to the bariatric clinic complaining of a multiyear history of epigastric pain and acid reflux, which was refractory to treatment with proton pump inhibitors. She had a history of laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) placement in 2007. She was initially successful in achieving weight loss and maintained regular band adjustments but was lost to follow-up and regained a body mass index (BMI) of 41.59 kg/m2. Evaluation with upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy was recommended and performed. This revealed a LAGB in its entirety with tubing within the gastric fundus. Removal with dual endoscopy and abdominal laparoscopy was recommended and scheduled. During attempts to remove the band using an endoscopic snare, significant difficulty was encountered. Ultimately, an endoscopic rat-tooth grasper was used to lyse the band and tubing into four sections for complete removal. The subcutaneous port of the band was successfully removed laparoscopically, and the patient was discharged from the operating room. She reported limited pain in the postoperative suite but was lost to follow-up regarding long-term symptom relief. This report describes the presentation and management of one patient's experience with a known complication of LAGB-band erosion. This complication necessitated two additional procedures with anesthesia and placed the patient at increased risk for esophageal perforation, complications related to sedation, and the development of abdominal adhesions. Her case aims to support the decreasing prevalence of LAGBs within bariatric surgery and hopes to guide other physicians challenged with the management of similar cases.

Abstract
Bariatric surgeries such as sleeve gastrectomy; mini-gastric bypass surgery are successful weight reduction surgeries which significantly impact metabolic syndrome. The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of laparoscopy gastrectomy and mini-gastric bypasses on weight decrease and diabetes remission of diabetic mellitus type 2 through two years of monitoring. Furthermore, this study looked at the difference between the two procedures regarding their efficacy and identify which one is proper for patients according to their comorbidities. A prospective study was held in Al Sadder Medical City and Al-Gadeer private hospitals in Al-Najaf city, Iraq, from January 2016 to February 2018. The study included 35 obese and morbidly obese patients with a known history of diabetes mellitus type 2, diagnosed from at least two years before surgery. 15 patients undergo uneventful laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (6 females and 9 males). 20 patients underwent uneventful laparoscopic gastric mini bypass surgery (6 females and 14 males). In addition, the patients were followed in the short-term postoperatively (3, 6, 12, 24 months) by monitoring their BMI, weight loss, and HbA1c. There was a decrease in BMI of about 45% from the baseline BMI in sleeve gastrectomy surgery and a decrease in HbA1c of about 45%, less than 6%. In gastric mini-bypass surgery, there was a decrease in BMI of about 47% from the baseline BMI and a decrease in HbA1c of about 45% from the baseline less than 6%, during a 24-month monitoring. Both surgeries were fruitful and had efficient results on patients, but the gastric mini bypass was more efficient than sleeve gastrectomy in controlling and remission of DM type 2 without the need for medications. A long-term study should be performed to reveal their effect and benefits to the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with the gut microbiota and decreased micronutrient status. Bariatric surgery is a recommended therapy for obesity. It can positively affect the composition of the gut bacteria but also disrupt absorption of nutrients. Low levels of micronutrients can affect metabolic processes, like glycolysis, TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, that are associated with the immune system also known as immunometabolism. METHODS MEDLINE, PUBMED, and Google Scholar were searched. Articles involving gut microbiome, micronutrient deficiency, gut-targeted therapies, transcriptome analysis, micronutrient supplementation, and bariatric surgery were included. RESULTS Studies show that micronutrients play a pivotal role in the intestinal immune system and regulating immunometabolism. Research demonstrates that gut-targeting therapies may improve the microbiome health for bariatric surgery populations. There is limited research that examines the role of micronutrients in modulating the gut microbiota among the bariatric surgery population. CONCLUSIONS Investigations are needed to understand the influence that micronutrient deficiencies have on the gut, particularly immunometabolism. Nutritional transcriptomics shows great potential in providing this type of analysis to develop gut-modulating therapies as well as more personalized nutrition recommendations for bariatric surgery patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Erosion of a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) is a devastating problem. There is no clear evidence in literature to guide the choice of revisional procedure following an eroded LAGB. The purpose of this study is to analyse the largest series of erosions following LAGB published to-date with an aim to share our experience with this rare complication and how we managed this cohort of patients following explantation of their LAGB. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study. Patient data is maintained prospectively in a surgical database. The study period was from January 1996 to January 2019. The outcomes of patients who underwent an erosion of LAGB were studied. RESULTS Gastric band erosion was encountered in 4.7% of patients. Sixty patients opted for a revisional procedure which included 37 repeat LAGBs, 6 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies (LSG), 7 Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses (RYGB), 1 intragastric balloon, and 9 failed revisional procedures. Re-erosions were noted in 27% of patients who underwent a repeat gastric banding. Median %TWL at a 1-year follow-up was significantly higher in LSG and RYGB groups compared with that in LAGB (P < 0.008 and P < 0.000, respectively). There was no significant difference between the LSG and RYGB groups. CONCLUSION The risk of re-erosion is increased in patients who undergo repeat AGB following a previous episode of erosion. Repeat LAGB should not be offered after a previous erosion. LSG and RYGB should be considered as appropriate revisional procedures in a patient who experience weight regain following explantation of an eroded LAGB.

Abstract
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) placement remains a common bariatric procedure. While LAGB procedure is performed within private clinics in most Canadian provinces, public health care is often utilized for LAGB-related reoperations. We identified 642 gastric band removal procedures performed in Ontario from 2011 to 2014 using population-level administrative data. The number of procedures performed increased annually from 101 in 2011 to 220 in 2014. Notably, 54.7% of the patients required laparotomy, and 17.6% of patients underwent a subsequent bariatric surgery. Our findings demonstrated that LAGB placement in private clinics resulted in a large number of band removal procedures performed within the public system. This represents a significant public health concern that may result in significant health care utilization and patient morbidity.

Abstract
Obesity is a major public health concern that leads to numerous metabolic, mechanical and psychological complications. Although lifestyle interventions are the cornerstone of obesity management, subsequent physiological neurohormonal adaptations limit weight loss, strongly favour weight regain and counteract sustained weight loss. A range of effective therapies are therefore needed to manage this chronic relapsing disease. Bariatric surgery delivers substantial, durable weight loss but limited access to care, perceived high risks and costs restrict uptake. Medical devices are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between more conservative lifestyle intervention and weight-loss pharmacotherapy and more disruptive bariatric surgery. In this Review, we examine the range of gastrointestinal medical devices that are available in clinical practice to treat obesity, as well as those that are in advanced stages of development. We focus on the mechanisms of action as well as the efficacy and safety profiles of these devices. Many of these devices are placed endoscopically, which provides gastroenterologists with exciting opportunities for treatment.

Abstract
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic. There is increasing evidence that obesity is associated with benign gastroesophageal disease, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal dysmotility. Bariatric surgery-including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and adjustable gastric band placement-can effectively result in weight loss and control of obesity-related conditions, including GERD. However, there is increasing evidence that bariatric surgery itself can have a deleterious effect on esophageal function. In this review, we address the effect of obesity and bariatric surgery on esophageal dysfunction.

Abstract
This article examines the progression of bariatric surgery since its creation more than 60 years ago with a focus on the effect of surgery on weight loss, comorbidity reduction, and safety. The success has been remarkable. It is possible to cure severe obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hyperlipidemia in addition to the many other manifestations of the metabolic syndrome with remarkable safety. Equally important are the opportunities for research afforded by the surgery and its outcomes. Until better treatments become available, bariatric surgery is the therapy of choice for patients with morbid obesity for weight control and comorbidity improvement.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a frequently encountered disorder. Obesity is an important risk factor for GERD, and there are several pathophysiologic mechanisms linking the two conditions. For obese patients with GERD, much of the treatment effort is focused on weight loss and its consistent benefit to symptoms, while there is a relative lack of evidence regarding outcomes after novel or even standard medical therapy is offered to this population. Physicians are hesitant to recommend operative anti-reflux therapy to obese patients due to the potentially higher risks and decreased efficacy, and these patients instead are often considered for bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgical approaches are broadening, and each technique has emerging evidence regarding its effect on both the risk and outcome of GERD. Furthermore, combined anti-reflux and bariatric options are now being offered to obese patients with GERD. However, currently Roux-en-Y gastric bypass remains the most effective surgical treatment option in this population, due to its consistent benefits in both weight loss and GERD itself. This article aims to review the impact of both conservative and aggressive approaches of obesity treatment on GERD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric band slippage is one of the possible complications of the laparoscopic gastric band (LGB). Band slippage can present as an emergency and have drastic consequences. We herein report the different treatment modalities of slipped gastric band. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study of all patients presenting with slipped gastric band between May 2013 and January 2015 at our University hospital is described. All patients were evaluated at the time of presentation by radiological studies and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. On diagnosis, all bands were deflated in an attempt to relieve symptoms. After patient counseling and band position evaluation, patients were consented for either removal or repositioning of the band. RESULTS This study included 100 patients. Gastric band slippage rate was 8%. All patients presented with signs of gastric obstruction and expressed a long history of intermittent vomiting attacks. All patients were subjected to a complete gastric band deflation on presentation. Band deflation successfully relieved symptoms and reversed band slippage in 2 patients. However, both patients returned with band reslippage within the same month. The other 6 patients had persistent band slippage despite complete band deflation. Three of the 8 patients had a successful band repositioning, and the rest had their gastric bands removed. CONCLUSION Gastric band slippage can be a serious LGB complication. Repeated vomiting can be a significant risk factor for band slippage. Moreover, band repositioning can be a well-tolerated and feasible option in the management of slipped gastric band.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed a 5-year multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the LAP-BAND System surgery (LBS) in patients with obesity with a body mass index (BMI) of 30-39.9 kg m(-)(2). This pivotal study was designed to support LBS application to the US Food and Drug Administration for broadening the indications for surgery and the lower BMI indication was approved with 1-year data in 2011, with the intention to complete the 5-year evaluation. OBJECTIVES To present broad health outcome data including weight change, patient reported outcomes, comorbidity change and complications during the 5-year study. SETTING The study was conducted at seven US private practice clinical trial sites. METHODS We enrolled 149 BMI 30-39.9 subjects into a 5-year, multicenter, longitudinal, prospective post-approval study. Data for those completing each time point are presented. RESULTS The predefined target of at least 30% excess weight loss was achieved by more than 76% of subjects by 1-year and at every year thereafter during the 5-year study. Mean percentage weight loss at 5 years was 15.9±12.4%. Sustained weight loss was accompanied by sustained improvement in generic and weight-specific quality of life, symptoms of depression and the prevalence of binge-eating disorder. The number of subjects with normal fasting triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, plasma glucose and HbA1c increased significantly between baseline and 5 years. Fifty-four months after LBS implantation, the rate of device explants without replacement was 5.4%; however, the rate of explants increased to 12.1% by month 60 owing to no cost-elective band removals offered to subjects at study exit. No deaths or unanticipated adverse device effects were reported. CONCLUSIONS The LBS is safe and effective for people with BMI 30-39.9 with demonstrated improvements in weight loss, comorbidities and quality of life, and with a low explant rate through 5 years following treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We started laparoscopic mini-gastric bypass (MGB) for the first time in India in February 2007 for its reported safety, efficacy, and easy reversibility. METHODS A retrospective review of prospectively maintained data of all 1,054 consecutive patients (342 men and 712 women) who underwent MGB at our institute from February 2007 to January 2013 was done. RESULTS Mean age was 38.4 years, preoperative mean weight was 128.5 kg, mean BMI was 43.2 kg/m(2), mean operating time was 52 ± 18.5 min, and mean hospital stay was 2.5 ± 1.3 days. There were 49 (4.6%) early minor complications, 14 (1.3%) major complications, and 2 leaks (0.2%). In late complications, one patient had low albumin and one had excess weight loss; MGB was easily reversed in both (0.2%). Marginal ulcers were noted in five patients (0.6%) during follow-up for symptomatic dyspepsia, and anemia was the most frequent late complication occurring in 68 patients (7.6%). Patient satisfaction was high, and mean excess weight loss was 84, 91, 88, 86, 87, and 85% at years 1 to 6, respectively. CONCLUSION This study confirms previous publications showing that MGB is quite safe, with a short hospital stay and low risk of complications. It results in effective and sustained weight loss with high resolution of comorbidities and complications that are easily managed.

Abstract
The history of bariatric surgery is investigational. Dedicated surgeons have continuously sought for an ideal procedure to relieve morbidly obese patients from their burden of comorbid conditions, reduced life expectancy and low quality of life. The ideal procedure must have low complication risk, both in short- and long term, as well as minimal impact on daily life. The revolution of laparoscopic techniques in bariatric surgery is described in this summary. Advances in minimal invasive techniques have contributed to reduced operative time, length of stay, and complications. The development in bariatric surgery has been exceptional, resulting in a dramatic increase of the number of procedures performed world wide during the last decades. Although, a complex bariatric procedure can be performed with operative mortality no greater than cholecystectomy, specific procedure-related complications and other drawbacks must be taken into account. The evolution of laparoscopy will be the legacy of the 21st century and at present, day-care surgery and further reduction of the operative trauma is in focus. The impressive effects on comorbid conditions have prompted the adoption of minimal invasive bariatric procedures into the field of metabolic surgery.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is technically more challenging in patients with postsurgical anatomy such as Roux-en-Y anastomosis, frequently mandating an operative intervention. Although limited, there is growing evidence that ERCP can be performed using the balloon-overtube-assisted enteroscopy (BOAE) in patients with complex postoperative anatomy. We present the technical aspects of performing ERCP with the BOAE in patients presenting with complex postsurgical anatomy having biliary problems. ERCP using the BOAE is feasible in patients with complex postsurgical anatomy, permitting diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in 80% of patients.

Abstract
Substantial heterogeneity exists in weight loss trajectories amongst patients following bariatric surgery. Hormonal factors are postulated to be amongst the contributors to the variation seen. Several hormones involved in hunger, satiety, and energy balance are affected by bariatric surgery, with the alteration in hormonal milieu varying by procedure. Limited research has been conducted to examine potential hormonal mediators of weight loss failure or recidivism following bariatric surgery. While hormonal factors that influence weight loss success following gastric banding have not been identified, data suggest that hormonal factors may be involved in modulating weight loss success following gastric bypass. There may be hormonal mediators involved in determining the weight trajectory following sleeve gastrectomy, though the extremely limited data currently available prohibits definitive conclusions from being drawn. There is great need for future research studies to explore this knowledge gap, as improving this knowledge base could be of benefit to guide clinicians toward understanding the hormonal contributors to a patient's postoperative weight loss failure or recidivism or perhaps be of value in selecting the most appropriate bariatric procedure based on the preoperative hormone milieu. Integrative interdisciplinary approaches exploring these complex interrelationships could potentially increase the explanatory power of such investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is considered a safe and effective treatment for severe obesity and obesity-related comorbidities. We sought to examine the outcome of LAGB delivered through a Canadian publicly funded obesity program. METHODS We retrospectively analysed the cases of patients who underwent LAGB within a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, publically funded obesity program. RESULTS A total of 178 patients underwent LAGB. Mean percentage total body weight loss at 1, 2 and 3 years was 15.8%, 20.7% and 20.3%, respectively. The most common short-term complication was postoperative nausea (19%). The medium-term complications included band migration (5.6%) and port site complications, band leakage and incisional hernia at 1% each. The reoperation rate was 4.5%. The mean surgery duration was 56 minutes and the mean length of stay was 1.4 days. The average numbers of clinic visits and band adjustments were highest in the first year. The most common investigation for postoperative symptoms was fluoroscopy (86%). An outcome comparison between the 2 generations of the REALIZE gastric band was inconclusive, requiring further data collection. CONCLUSION Publicly funded LAGB results in effective weight loss and acceptable safety over the short term. Our patients may represent a distinct population that differs from that in the private system. Long-term data are necessary to determine the cost-effectiveness of this important surgical option for severe obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a pandemic associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This historical article charts the progress of successful strategies that have been used to tackle weight loss from dietary modifications to the development of surgical interventions that have subsequently evolved. It also provides a précis of the reported outcome data following minimally invasive bariatric procedures. METHODS A literature review was performed. All articles relevant to the progression of bariatric surgery and minimally invasive surgery were assessed, as were those articles that described the ultimate evolution, combination, and establishment of the two techniques. RESULTS This article charts the progression of early weight loss strategies, from early dietary modifications and pharmacologic interventions to initial techniques in small bowel bypass procedures, banding techniques, and sleeve gastrectomies. It also describes the simultaneous developments of endoscopic interventions and laparoscopic procedures. CONCLUSIONS A range of procedures are described, which differ in their success in terms of loss of excess weight and in their complication rates. Weight loss is greatest for biliopancreatic diversion followed by gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy and least for adjustable gastric banding. Bariatric surgery is an evolving field, which will continue to expand given current epidemiologic trends. Developments in instrumentation and surgical techniques, including single access and natural orifice approaches, may offer further benefit in terms of patient acceptability.

Abstract
Hypertension and diabetes are known risk factors for obesity-related thrombosis, but several studies have shown that obesity is characterised by a potentially prothrombotic inflammatory state because of activated coagulation and impaired fibrinolysis. In order to verify if obese patients-unaffected by hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, cigarette smoking or inflammatory diseases-show increased prothrombotic markers and whether the weight loss induced by gastric banding normalises such parameters. Plasma levels of C reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VII (FVII) were measured in 25 women with isolated obesity prior to, as well as 3, 6 and 12 months subsequent to gastric banding. Twenty-five healthy women served as a baseline control group. The obese women had higher CRP (p = 0.0001), fibrinogen (p = 0.014), PAI-1 (p = 0.003), VWF (p = 0.004) and FVII levels (p = 0.0001) than the normal controls, and their body mass index (BMI) positively correlated with CRP (r = 0.462, p = 0.02), fibrinogen (r = 0.426, p = 0.04) and PAI-1 (r = 0.468, p = 0.02). Twelve months after gastric banding, the median BMI had decreased from 40.0 to 34.9 (p = 0.0001); CRP from 4.18 to 1.69 μg/ml (p = 0.01); fibrinogen from 389 to 318 mg/dl (p = 0.0001); PAI-1 from 32.1 to 12.0 UI/ml (p = 0.003); VWF from 144 to 120% (p = 0.0001); and FVII from 134 to 112% (p = 0.002). Even in the absence of major cardiovascular risk factors, obese patients are characterised by a prothrombotic state. The weight loss induced by gastric banding decreases the parameters of inflammation, coagulation and impaired fibrinolysis, thus potentially reducing the thrombotic risk.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. Treatment recommendations for NAFLD are aimed towards weight reduction, thereby reducing insulin resistance. Unfortunately, lifestyle modifications have not yielded long-term success, while durable weight loss is routinely achieved with bariatric surgery. This article reviews the effects of bariatric surgery on patients with NAFLD. In these patients, postsurgical evaluations of liver histology by repeat liver biopsy are hindered by the risk of the procedure and the inherent sample variability, which makes the impact of bariatric surgery on NAFLD difficult to quantify. In longitudinal studies of NAFLD, the biopsy-based evaluations should be augmented by repeated measurements of the noninvasive biomarkers that may provide an insight into the changes in the physiological state of the liver after bariatric or other types of interventions. Nevertheless, currently available tests are not able to provide this type of in-depth outcome measures for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are conflicting results concerning the bariatric effectiveness of adjustable gastric banding in super-obese patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) more or equal to 50 kg/m(2). METHOD A cohort of 186 patients with a BMI greater or equal to 50 kg/m(2) who underwent adjustable gastric banding (AGB) at the Bichat-Claude-Bernard University Hospital (Paris, France) were prospectively entered into a database. The following data were recorded: BMI, percentage of BMI loss, percentage of excess weight lost (%EWL), complications, and surgical re-interventions. Loss of greater than 50% of excess weight was considered a success (primary endpoint). A %EWL of less than 25% after one year, or the removal of the gastric band was considered a failure. RESULTS Thirty-five men (18.8%) and 151 women (81.2%), with a mean age of 38.9 years (range: 16-65) underwent AGB between September 1995 and December 2007. The mean BMI was 55.06 kg/m(2) (range: 50-74.4). Mean follow-up was 112.5 months with a minimum of 28 months and a maximum of 172 months. The follow-up rate was maintained at 89% at ten years. The technique of AGB was by "peri-gastric dissection" in the first 115 patients (61.82%) and by "pars flaccida dissection" in 71 patients (38.17%). The gastric band was removed in 87 of 186 patients (46.8%); band ablation was due to a complication of the gastric band in 62 of these cases (33.3%), to failure of weight loss in 23 cases (12.4%), and to patient request in two cases (1%). The major complications requiring re-operation were: chronic dilatation of the proximal gastric pouch (27 patients - 14.5%), acute dilatation (21 patients - 11.3%), intragastric migration of the prosthesis (six patients - 3.2%), reflux esophagitis (six patients - 3.2%), infection of the gastric band (one patient - 0.5%), and Barrett's esophagus (one patient - 0.5%). No statistically significant difference was found between the two operative techniques with regard to the possibility of preserving the gastric band for ten years. For patients who underwent band removal, no further follow-up analysis of patient data after band ablation was performed. The results were best at two years after AGB with a median BMI of 42.72 kg/m(2), a band removal rate of 8.6% (16 of 186 patients), and a failure rate of 16.4% (28 of 170 patients) of those patients who still had their band in place. However, at 10 years, the picture was completely reversed with a band removal rate of 52.2% (47 of 90 patients), a failure rate of 22% (seven of 33 patients) of those who still had their band in place, and a median BMI of 43.43 kg/m(2). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic gastroplasty using the adjustable gastric band appeared to be a promising intervention for super-obese patients when the results at two years were analyzed - fairly simple to perform, with perioperative morbidity and mortality near zero. However, these results do not persist in the long-term for super-obese patients. At ten years, only 11% of patients (nine of 80) have successful bariatric results (%EWL>50%) and we were forced to remove the gastric band in 52.2% of patients (47 of 90) because of complications, regardless of the initial operative technique used. Given these results, AGB gastroplasty is not a recommended method for super-obese patients and we believe that a BMI greater or equal to 50 kg/m(2) is a contra-indication for this procedure.

Abstract
Introduction A number of different adjustable gastric bands are available for laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Few attempts have been made to compare the influence of band design differences for efficiency and complication rate and conflicting results have emerged from comparative studies. Aim To compare SAGB (Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band) and MiniMizer Extra adjustable gastric bands. Material and methods One hundred and three patients were included in the prospective randomized study. All patients underwent LAGB. The SAGB was used in 49 and MiniMizer Extra in 54 patients. The primary endpoint was weight loss, and secondary endpoints were complication rate, correction of co-morbidities and improvement of quality of life. Results There were no early complications. A significant difference in the proportion of patients who have reached good or excellent weight loss results (≥ 50% of initial excess body mass index loss) was found in favour of the MiniMizer Extra group (29.6% vs. 8.2%, p = 0.006). No difference was found in other weight loss parameters, resolution of co-morbidities and improvement of quality of life. One oesophageal dilatation and one leakage were diagnosed in the MiniMizer Extra group. Five band penetrations (9.3%) were diagnosed in the MiniMizer Extra group and no penetrations in the SAGB group (p = 0.069). Conclusions No major significant differences were found between the compared bands. Further results need to be confirmed by longer follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) in patients lost to follow-up. METHODS Patients lost to follow-up were identified from a consecutive cohort of 495 patients who underwent LAGB between November 1995 and September 2006. These patients were asked to return to follow-up and their actual weight was assessed. RESULTS Of 93 patients lost to follow-up, 73 were motivated to reattend. Of these, 60 per cent (44 patients) had lost less than 25 per cent of excess weight, compared with 16.3 per cent (P < 0.001), 27.0 per cent (P < 0.001) and 42 per cent (P = 0.026) of patients after 2, 4 and 8 years of regular follow-up. CONCLUSION Patients lost to follow-up are more likely to have poor weight loss, emphasizing the importance of follow-up after LAGB. Outcome after surgery for morbid obesity should include patients lost to follow-up as a measure of overall success.

Abstract
Surgery is an increasingly important management option for patients with obesity. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is a procedure employed to treat morbid obesity refractory to medical therapy. It works by reducing the capacity of the stomach and promoting early satiety. We report the unusual case of a 33-year-old female who presented acutely 2 years following laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding with cecal volvulus and closed loop obstruction caused by displacement of the connecting tube.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare and describe the weight loss outcomes from gastric bypass and gastric band so as to define the variation of excess weight loss (EWL) among individual patients, the time to onset of effect, and the durability of weight loss in severely obese adults. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Gastric bypass and gastric band are the most common operations for obesity performed in the United States, but few reports have compared these 2 procedures. METHODS Patients (N = 1733, aged 18-65 years) met National Institutes of Health criteria for obesity surgery and underwent either gastric bypass or gastric band between March 1997 and November 2006. The selection of bypass versus band was based on patient/surgeon discussion. The evaluable sample consisted of 1518 patients. The percentage of EWL was assessed over 2 years. Successful weight loss was defined a priori as > or = 40% EWL in each of four 6-month postoperative measurement periods. The analyses included a mixed model and generalized estimating equation (GEE) model with repeated measures. Odds ratios and descriptive analyses were also provided. RESULTS Gastric bypass was associated with less individual variation in weight loss than gastric band. Both procedures were associated with a significant EWL benefit (Treatment Group effect P < 0.0001), but they differed in terms of time to effect (Treatment Group x Period interaction effect P < 0.0001). The mean EWL for gastric bypass was greater at each measurement period (6, 12, 18, 24 months) compared with gastric band (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, at each of the postoperative measurement periods within each treatment group (bypass and band), the mean EWL was greater for those who had preoperative body mass index (BMI) < or = 50 kg/m2 than for those who had preoperative BMI > 50 kg/m2 (P < 0.0001). Gastric bypass was consistently associated with a greater likelihood of at least a 40% EWL in each of the 6-month postoperative measurement periods (GEE, P < 0.0001). The odds ratio estimates at months 6, 12, 18, and 24 were 18.2, 20.6, 15.5, and 9.1, respectively. Despite these clinically meaningful outcome differences, nearly all (> or = 93%) bypass and band patients who had > or = 40% EWL at 6, 12, or 18 months postoperatively maintained at least this level of success at 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Gastric bypass produced more rapid, greater, and more consistent EWL across individuals over a 2-year postoperative period than gastric band.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and the 'pars flaccida' techniques for treating morbidly obese patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Between May 1999 and July 2002, 64 patients underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. The 'perigastric' technique was performed in the first 31 patients. From September 2000 the band was positioned according to the 'pars flaccida' technique in the remaining 33 patients. The patients were divided into three groups: group 1 - 'perigastric' technique using Lap-Band size 9.75 and 10 cm (31 patients); group 2 - 'pars flaccida' technique using Lap-Band size 10 cm (12 patients), and group 3 - 'pars flaccida' technique using the Swedish band (21 patients). There were 58 females and 6 males with a mean age of 36.6 years (range 17-56). The preoperative mean body mass index was 46.2 kg/m(2). RESULTS Band slippage occurred in 10/31 patients (32.2%) of group 1, 3/12 patients (25%) of group 2 and none in group 3 patients (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The 'pars flaccida' technique significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative slippage after gastric banding. This complication is further reduced in the Swedish band group. Furthermore, we do not recommend using the 10-cm Lap-Band in the 'pars flaccida' technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjustable gastric banding is a popular bariatric operation in Europe. About 1500 patients per year undergo a such procedures in Germany. Clinical data on the rate of long-term complications such as pouch dilatation, slippage, and band migration are available in only a few long-term studies with small numbers of patients. Meta-analyses report on comordities and reduction in weight. The rate and management of long-term complications were examined at this inquiry. METHODS Ninety hospitals were asked about rates of band implantation, follow-up, and complications. Thirty-eight hospitals (42.2%) participated in the study. The management of complications including slippage, pouch dilatation, and band migration was analyzed. RESULTS At 35 hospitals, 4138 patients underwent gastric banding procedures in 25 hospitals over more than 5 years. The mean follow-up rate is presently 85.3%. Long-term complications were described in 8.6% of the patients. Pouch dilatation occurred in 5.0%, slippage in 2.6%, and band migration in 1.0%. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding can effectively achieve weight loss. However, band-related and functional complications influence late outcome. The rate of long-term complications was equivalent to that already in the literature.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the only effective treatment producing sustained weight loss and reduction in comorbidities in the morbidly obese. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) has evolved considerably in techniques of insertion and band management since the initial descriptions in the early 1990s. Major advantages of LAGB include lower perioperative morbidity and mortality, adjust-ability, and reversibility. Although weight loss occurs more slowly than after gastric bypass, end results are comparable.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective method for achieving durable weight loss for patients with morbid obesity. Gastric restrictive procedures include vertical banded gastroplasty and gastric banding. Malabsorptive procedures include long-limb gastric bypass, biliopancreatic diversion, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. The gastric bypass has features of both restriction and malabsorption. The laparoscopic approach to bariatric surgery has substantially improved postoperative recovery. Careful patient selection and preoperative work-up are extremely important. A number of medical comorbidities are improved after surgically-induced weight loss.
