Adolescent Gastric Banding: a 5-Year Longitudinal Study
ConclusionIn this study, fewer than 20% of adolescents with severe obesity lost> 50% of their excess weight following LAGB. Nearly 50% of patients required additional surgery. With reports of success following sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, we believe that LAGB is not a preferred choice to treat adolescents with obesity.
