Though there are many risks involved in having surgery, complication rates should be low. The ideal surgery would be one that doesn't require stapling or re-routing of the intestines. It should not cause vitamin deficiency or malnourishment. For a weight-loss procedure to be effective, you must loss at least 50% of your excess weight. Adjustability is desired because our bodies are constantly changing. Also, it’s reversible.

I believe that adjustable gastric banding by a wide margin is the safest and most effective way to achieve permanent weight-loss for the severely obese.
