ClinConnect Summary
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding when combined with gastric plication will provide lasting weight loss benefits to patients. We are projecting that the percent of Excess Body Weight Loss (% EWL) will be greater in study subjects when compared with our control group with LAGB alone. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the % EWL in study subjects will be similar to patients who have laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass.
