The Gastric Bypass Surgery, also called Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass, is a type of weight-loss procedure that combines both a "Restriction" and "Mal-absorption" alteration in digestion. It restricts the amount of food that your stomach holds, limiting the amount of calories and nutrients your body absorbs.
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, commonly called the Lap Band, is an inflatable silicone band device surgically placed around the top portion of the stomach to treat obesity. The procedure portions off the upper stomach "pouch"-about the size of an egg-limiting the amount of food your stomach can hold, thereby reducing calories consumed, while maintaining early fullness with smaller portion meals.
LINX is easy to understand and love because it is simple. The beauty of this quarter-sized device is it does exactly what your failing Reflux Barrier is supposed to do - prevent stomach acid from entering your esophagus. LINX is designed to start working the moment the device is implanted and starts to have a positive impact from day one.
Patients who experience Weight-Regain after their initial Bariatric weight-loss procedure should not feel frustrated or disappointed in their journey to reach their goal. Despite a patient's effort, there may be unusual circumstances contributing to their weight regain. A patient should never feel the sense of "Hopelessness".
