Abstract:
The criteria for the indication of gastric banding (GB) or bypass in morbidly obese patients are poorly defined in the available guidelines and usually rely on the BMI of the patients.In this study, the role of the BMI and of hormonal mediators associated with morbid obesity are outlined. Furthermore,the complications and long-term results of GB are analyzed and compared with laparoscopic gastric bypass in order to define the limits of GB.
