There are four
types of operations that are commonly offered in the United States:
adjustable gastric band (AGB), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB),
biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch (BPD-DS), and vertical
sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). Each has its own benefits and risks. To
select the option that is best for you, you and your physician will
consider that operation’s benefits and risks along with many
other factors, including BMI, eating behaviors, obesity-related health
conditions, and previous operations.Source: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
