What are the surgical options for morbid obesity?
Surgical approaches include restrictive procedures that limit the amount of food a patient can eat, an example being laparoscopic gastric banding or a vertical gastric sleeve. Other options include mal-absorptive procedures like the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or BPD-DS. At the Bariatric Institute of Wisconsin we perform all of these procedures using a minimally-invasive laparoscopic technique.
