Weight-Loss Surgery: Deciding between Bypass, Sleeve and LAPBAND

Lehigh Valley Health Network performs laparoscopic surgical procedures including gastric bypass (roux-en-y), sleeve gastrectomy and LAP-Band®. These procedures help patients resolve obesity either by restricting food intake or malabsorption of food. Bariatric surgeons Richard Boorse, MD, and T. Daniel Harrison, DO, explain the difference between the techniques and procedures, including the length of surgery, port sites and recovery time. This video includes animations of the surgeries and explanations about the benefits of minimally invasive weight-loss surgery as well as the risks of these procedures. The surgeons discuss considerations when choosing a surgical procedure for weight loss.
