Adolescent obesity continues to present one of the most difficult and important challenges for both the pediatric and adult medical communities. Evidence is mounting that bariatric surgery is the only reliable method for substantial and sustainable weight loss; however, the debate continues with regard to the optimal surgical procedure for both adolescents and adults. Although most US adult bariatric surgeons prefer the gastric bypass, our institution has demonstrated equivalent weight loss with significantly less morbidity using laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) in both adults and adolescents. This analysis is an update of our results in our first 73 patients, including resolution of comorbid conditions and compliance data.
