There are different techniques that can be used, each suited to different types of patients. Not all obesity surgeries are equal, since some methods require a greater commitment from the patient for positive results, while others are more flexible.

Some techniques, such as band or gastric plication, are reversible and can give good results with low risk, plus they are suitable for patients with lower BMI. These two operations are recommended for patients with a BMI between 35 and 45 who have not had good results with conventional treatments.

The gastric band is adjustable quick fitting and easily removed. This is the laparoscopic insertion of a band around a portion of the stomach is inflated with saline. Allows a moderate weight loss, even a little slow in the beginning, when compared to other obesity surgeries. Being a purely restrictive method, the patient must make changes to your eating habits to be successful with this surgery, so that not all adapt to it.

The biggest difference between lap band gastric plication is the mechanism of action, while the band reduces the size of the "access road to the stomach" reducing the speed with which food enters the stomach, gastric plication reduces the size of the stomach which limits the amount of food that can be consumed before feeling full.

This mechanism of action plication eliminates the biggest drawback of the gastric band is their inability to stop liquids, ie, those patients who were placed gastric band could continue to consume large amounts of calories if they are presented as liquid as the band does not stop the passage of liquids.

Both are outpatient techniques, in which the patient must remain in the hospital more than 24 hours and has a speedy recovery. In the days after surgery, patients come to feel some mild discomfort, pain and some vomiting. In the case of gastric plication, stomach cramps may occur for this is to drink slowly and in small amounts until it meets the stomach. In the case of gastric banding, you may feel pain and tell the band placed.
