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.
