Long-term Outcomes of Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
The number and type of comorbidities (eg, diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea) within this number of patients increased over time. I can't observe how by passing the duodenum and part of jejunum could be good for digestion. A minimum of inside the estimated 4 year lifetime of the LAP Band diet and exercise habits might be modified leading to a far more normal life. Isn't quality of life post operative more important compared to longevity of a device? Modern disease/health care only deals with numbers which typically come back to bite them. I always find it interesting that most studies recommended longer study periods; however they never come?
