Here are the ASMBS Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Numbers Estimate for 2018.

Comparison to Previous Years

The ASMBS total bariatric procedure numbers are based on the best estimation from available data (BOLD, ACS/MBSAQIP, National Inpatient Sample Data, and outpatient estimations).

Very interesting how the sleeve is gaining momentum. Also interesting that as the band % goes down, the revision rate goes up. The band just didn't measure up over time. I wonder what the actual revisions are: band to RNY, sleeve to RNY, Band to sleeve?

I had no clue sleeve was more popular than RNY. I hadn't even heard of sleeve prior to my first consult. "gastric bypass" seemed to be a common term.
