Unlike many forms of stomach stapling surgeries, gastric sleeve surgery leaves stomach nerves and outlet valves in tact while reducing the size of your stomach and keeping its functions.
Types of Weight Loss Surgery?
LapBand, vertical sleeve gastrectomy, vertical banded gastroplasty, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, duodenal switch, and biliopancreatic diversion are six types of weight loss surgery. The most common bypass procedure is called a Rouxen-Y. This procedure creates a small pouch near the top of the stomach using staples or a band. The smaller stomach is attached to the jejunum bypassing the rest of the stomach and duodenum. A drastic version that requires about 70% of the stomach to be removed is called a biliopancreatic diversion. This can be combined with a duodenal switch procedure to eliminate the possibility of dumping syndrome and blockages.

There are all types of stomach surgeries. But one thing they all have in common is that they require you to be obese in order to get them. That includes having a BMI of over 40. BMI stands for body mass index. Most insurers will cover the surgery if you meet the qualifications. Getting a surgery can avert many other diseases from occurring. Vertical banded gastroplasty is one kind of surgery. These kinds of special procedures can dramatically increase the likelihood that you'll have a life of health and wellbeing and not have the suffering associated with modern obesity problems.

I believe the use of the band means that a device is implanted into your body that constricts part of the stomach to trick it into thinking it's full sooner. With the actual surgery, a portion of the stomach is actually removed to create this same effect.
Where can I found out about biatric surgery options?
Laparoscopic surgery is generally safer and less invasive. LAP-BAND surgery restricts the stomach and helps to cut down on eating, thus reducing food intake. Vertical Banded Gastroplasty involves dividing and stapling the stomach to section off the amount of food it can hold. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, the most common surgery creates another stomach pouch again reducing stomach capacity and helps the patient to feel satisfied and full quicker.
