Surgery is effective for moderate obesity permalink
In the studies that compared different bariatric procedures, there was some evidence that gastric bypass provided greater weight loss than did vertical banded gastroplasty or adjustable gastric banding. Isolated sleeve gastrectomy and banded gastric bypass both produced weight losses comparable to that seen with gastric bypass. No statistically significant differences in weight loss or quality of life were seen between procedures performed using conventional open surgery and those using laparoscopic bariatric procedures.
