as vertical banded gastroplasty, laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, gastric sleeve resection, biliopancreatic diversion, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is one of the most used surgical procedures for the treatment of morbid
obesity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and to represent our initial experience with Laparoscopic Gastric Band Applications in the light of the literature.
