Abstract

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) works by creating graded restriction through sequential adjustments. Conventional wisdom has recommended that more frequent visits for LAGB adjustments would improve outcome. Our follow-up protocol encourages monthly post-operative visits (POV) regardless of whether an adjustment is performed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of POV on weight loss outcomes (WLO) after LAGB.
