The Procedures
Many different operations have been advocated over the years for weight reduction.
Many such as Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) and jejuno-ileal bypass are obsolete nowadays.
The most popular procedures now performed include laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding

with bilio-pancreatic diversion (DS-BPD), and sleeve gastrectomy &/- bypass. |
