Amazing New Findings! New studies to be presented at the Paris Meeting for the International Federation for Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Diseases show that in a controlled prospective 5 year trial the MGB is better than the RNY gastric bypass.
In other studies the MGB out performed the Band and the Sleeve in weight loss, quality of life and in the treatment of diabetes.

MGB Better than the Lap Band

2 years after surgery the Mini-Gastric Bypass had better results than other bariatric surgeries (Lapband or sleeve gastrectomy).
P-110 Comparison of Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Following Laparoscopic Mini-Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy and Adjustable Gastric Banding Surgery

Background
Laparoscopic Mini-Gastric Bypass (MGB), sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) surgeries are currently recommended procedures for morbid obesity.
Previous studies disclosed a significant improvement in the health-related and gastrointestinal quality of life among each specific surgery.
However, there has been no comparative data regarding the specific gastrointestinal quality of life between different procedures.
Methods
From October 2001 to Dec 2006, 640 consecutive patients with morbid obesity underwent different procedures
(Mini-Gastric Bypass: 423 patients;
sleeve gastrectomy: 110 patients;
LABG: 107 patients).
The mean body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and Gastrointestinal Quality Of Life Index were recorded and compared before operation and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery.
Results
All procedures were completed laparoscopically and the three different surgeries were successful in weight loss in morbidly obese patients.
Patients underwent Mini-Gastric Bypass and sleeve gastrectomy had similar mean BW loss and BMI reduction at 1-year after surgery (27.9 kg/m2 and 23.7 kg/m2 respectively).
However, the BMI in sleeve gastrectomy and gastric banding groups began to increase after 1 year and only mini-gastric bypass group showed persistent and steady decrease in BMI.
The overall Gastrointestinal Quality Of Life Index improved significantly 2 years after Mini-Gastric Bypass (106.1 รข†’ 115.2; P < 0.05) between groups.
The adjustable gastric banding group only disclosed short-term benefit along with BW loss in one year, then the value returned to similar values before surgery.
Conclusion
The overall Gastrointestinal Quality Of Life Index improved significantly 2 years after Mini-Gastric Bypass.
The adjustable gastric banding group only had short-term benefit
At one year, the quality of life value and the Body Weight values returned to values before surgery.
With follow up of 2 years, the overall values all declined and the sleeve gastrectomy group had the worst result.
2 years after surgery the Mini-Gastric Bypass had better results than other bariatric surgeries (Lapband or sleeve gastrectomy).
However, each patient still should be individualized for the bariatric surgeries according to the patient’s decision.

Gil Gerard, former Hollywood heartthrob, undergoes a lifesaving but controversial new gastric bypass procedure in order to reclaim his health and restart his career. Will this be the solution he's been looking for?

My surgery was on Sept 12, 2007. I can't believe it's almost 2 years. I think
Dr. Rutledge is wonderful and I suggest him to anyone considering weight loss
surgery. I was all set for a RouxNY when I felt it was not right. I did more
research and came across the Centers for weight loss surgery. They have all been
very helpful and friendly. After meeting Dr. Rutledge and the staff in
Henderson, I knew I had found what I wanted to do. I spent almost 6 months doing
my packet because I had to find funding for my surgery, and finally, I was able
to do it. The hospital staff and equipment was all up to date and they made
everything as convenient and comfortable as it could be (they were under
construction of some type at the time) I had a roommate in my room, which I
originally thought would be bad but it turned out good to have someone that
close who was in my same situation. My surgery was 28 minutes and he bypassed
about seven and a half feet.

WOW. Smiling from ear to ear. Today I joined the Onederland club.
I am 5.5 months out. Down 93 pounds. I don't look like my old self. I don't
feel like my old self. I don't eat like my old self. I am not addicted to food
like my old self. I am healthier than my old self. I am happier than my old
self. I don't miss my old self!
I have no regrets. It hasn't been and still is not always easy. I am still
learning and adjusting but oh my! I had fears about this before I did it. I,
however, was ever turning back from the decision.
I work out because I love it....no longer because it's the only way to gain
weight slower. I eat because my body needs food. I eat what I want. I don't
worry about obesity anymore. I don't dread a day when I will gain it all back.
I enjoy clothes shopping (although I don't do it much because I will be too
small for what I buy in a few weeks). I just passed my motorcycle test!
wooooot Yes I'm a biker chick now! I look hot on my ACE..hehe. I don't see
people looking at me anymore. I don't feel looked over at places because of my
weight.
Life is glorious in Onederland! Thank you is too mundane.
