Gastric band (lap banding)
Gastric banding involves placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. It works by making you feel full sooner so that you eat less and ultimately lose weight as a result.
Gastric bypass
A gastric bypass is a weight loss surgery procedure that uses both restrictive and malabsorptive elements. The result is you simply cannot eat as much and thus you absorb fewer calories.
Obesity surgery (or weightloss surgery)
Weight loss surgery reduces the amount of food you can eat by reducing the size of your stomach or bypassing your stomach.
Post bariatric surgery (or body contouring)
After major weight loss surgery your skin and tissues may not have the elasticity needed to conform to your new body size.
