Bariatric Surgery: Which Ones Do Patients Like Most? - Dr. Liu (VIDEO)

Dr. Liu:

One takes maybe little less follow up than the other, but I think that it’s a great time for patients to use the internet, do their research, talk to different types of surgeons and find out which procedure is best for them. I don’t think they can go wrong with either gastric bypass or LAP-BAND®, both of which have been recognized by the American Society of Bariatric Surgery as a safe and effective weight-loss procedure. So patients have an opportunity to choose whatever procedure they want and I think they are going to do well with either procedure.
