A prospective study comparing 5-year results between superobese and non-superobese patients after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding.

Conclusions: This study suggests that LAGB can lead to substantial and long-lasting weight loss after 5 years. Our study found that SO patients demonstrate inferior weight loss results, and lower overall BAROS scores; thus we do not support the primary use of LAGB in SO patients. PMID: 30766632 [PubMed]
