Restrictive |
Restrictive 1-3 ounce stomach (15cc) |
|
Description |
A very small pouch of fundus connected to a limb of small bowel. Pyloric Valve is bypassed. |
Sleeve gastrectomy, with 4- 6 ounce pouch. Pyloric valve remains functional. The bilio-pancreatic secretions are kept separated from food to limit absorption except the last ~75cm of small bowel. |
A silastic ring is used to create a small pouch of stomach. |
An adjustable silicone constricting band is place completely around the very top part of the stomach creating a very small pouch. |

Complications |
68.8% “continued” problem with vomiting, 42.7% plugging of the gastric pouch outlet.[13] 12% stenosis & 12% ulceration, with over all stomac complication in 20%.[14] Up to 76% of Patients develop Dumping Syndrome, with no association between severity of Dumping Syndrome and weight loss.[15] |
Fat soluble vitamin deficiency- Rarely seen with adequate dietary supplements, in addition to a normal healthy diet. Protein malabsorption- again with healthy well balanced diet far less common than seen in VBG or RNY patients with stenosis or who only consume high sugar/calorie drinks. |
21% Vomit more that once a week. 14% have heartburn.[1] Binging and purging very common secondary to pain. |
89% of
patients have at least one side effect. |
|
Opinion |
“Gold standard” with frequent complications and hospital visits for patients 8. |
Technically a difficult operation to perform. Division of the post pyloric duodenum is a difficult step and could be dangerous in an inexperienced hand. |
Poor long term results with VBG[2] |
Actually not a new idea and was abandoned years ago. Some top surgeons in the field feel its resurgence will give bariatric surgery a bad reputation [18] |
|
Summary |
A restrictive procedure rendering a patient to a very limited diet, with significant complications. Long term results acceptable. |
The best surgical solution available for treatment of Morbid obesity. Allows a patient to lead a normal life with normal dietary intake of meals in smaller volume, without the side effect of dumping syndrome, continued vomiting, plugging, etc. |
A restrictive operation with poor long term track record and numerous complications. |
Restrictive procedure with no long term studies. Preliminary results disappointing.[19] |
|
Long Term Dietary Modification |
Significant dietary restriction. The unhealthiest diet after any weight loss surgery. Meat intolerance in majority of Pt.[16]Patients resort to high calorie drinks because can not tolerate “regular” meals |
Most balanced diets tolerated well with no adverse effects. Patients tolerate “normal” diet. |
Extremely poor diet- Patients are not able to consume any solids since it plugs the opening at the silastic ring.
